   A Tico-American Story (Episode 118)

   In this episode, you'll hear from Lewis, who is living abroad in Costa Rica! A former colleague and good friend, Lewis has lived in CR for eight years. He discusses his experience as a “gringo tico,” reflecting on his upbringing across multiple countries, including time growing up in the United States, and how moving frequently from a young age shaped his sense of identity and belonging. Lewis shares how navigating life between cultures has influenced the way he sees himself both in the U.S. and in Costa Rica, and why, after years abroad, Costa Rica has become his home. Hope you enjoy!

Yeah, middle school in South Carolina. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. And so, you know, when you're kids up until 12, I didn't really notice the difference, you know.
