This is Finding Home, a podcast that provides a room for individuals with truly remarkable and interesting multicultural backgrounds to speak about how their past experiences growing up in different countries has shaped who they are today. We talk about their struggles, things they learned along the way, and the beautiful ways in which being a third culture child can be such an asset in the modern day world, with stories that are truly relatable for anyone who identifies as multicultural.
Carina: Born in Turkey, raised in Seoul and Shanghai, but German?
In this episode of Culturally, I'm joined by my longtime friend, Carina—a true citizen of the world. Born in Turkey and raised across Seoul and Shanghai, Carina is German by passport but has rarely stayed in one place for long. After growing up between continents, she went on to build her career across New York, London, and Berlin, cities that couldn't be more different from each other.
We dive into what it's like to move between fundamentally different cultures before you're old enough to choose it, and then to keep moving by choice. We talk about the particular experience of carrying a national identity—German—that often surprises people given where she's actually lived, the quiet work of constantly adapting, and how all that movement shapes the way you see yourself and others. What does home mean when it's always been plural? How do you hold onto a sense of self when your context keeps shifting? And what role do the people who knew you across different chapters play in keeping you grounded?
