Going Back, Third Culture & Mansaf
<p><strong>Robb and I arrived in Amman, Jordan as part of the same cohort of new teachers at ACS Amman in 2018. We quickly became friends and our families spent our first Thanksgiving in Jordan together at a camp in Wadi Rum. Talking with Robb about his ideas of home and growing up abroad was fun for me as his perspective is quite different having grown up as a third culture kid. We explored what it meant for him to grow up abroad having been born in a country different from the one on his passport, and some of the challenges of establishing that idea of home for his own kids.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansaf"><u><strong>Mansaf</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.acsamman.edu.jo/"><u><strong>American Community School Amman</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008"><u><strong>Financial Crisis 2007</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic"><u><strong>Pandemic of 2020</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_culture_kid#:~:text=Third%20culture%20kids%20(TCK)%20or,of%20their%20child%20development%20years."><u><strong>Third Culture Kid</strong></u></a></p>

Touchdown, Family and Shake Shack
I met Henry Abbey while working at Lincoln Community School in Ghana. My role as a technology coach and a ManageBac administrator meant I was in regular contact with Henry who worked in our IT department. We developed a friendship over our hours of trying to make our different systems talk to each other. Henry, who is originally from Ghana, eventually moved on to work at an international school in the United States and has since continued his adventures in Vietnam. Henry and I talk about his time in the US, moving to Vietnam during a pandemic and the worries of a parent raising their kids as expats. Lincoln Community School (Where Henry and I were working when we first met) Tema, Ghana (Henry grew up here) Hanoi, Vietnam (His current location) Chick-fil-A (The restaurant where Henry tried to pick up lunch for his colleagues) Shake Shack (The food they really wanted) Special thanks to my Associate Producer Robyn Harwood Music by John Bartman from Pixabay Music

Airports, Music and Bo-Berry Biscuits
In this first episode I caught up with my old friend, Amanda Barbee. Amanda and her husband John, lived around the corner from us in North Carolina before we set off on our international adventures. At the time of this interview, Amanda was just completing her first year as an international educator in Chengdu, China. Since then, her family spent some time in Panama before deciding to return back to North Carolina to put down roots. Extra special thanks to Amanda for letting me dig up this old audio for my first episode. It was recorded in May of 2018. Three years does not seem like so long ago, but then again it does, and my how the world has changed. A few links to places mentioned in this episode: Chengdu (where Amanda was living) Accra (where I was living) The Hideout (our favorite place in Ghana) Bojangles (home of the Bo-Berry biscuit. I couldn't resist) Music by John Bartman from Pixabay Music
