Hiiii grown up expat brat here! Lived in Asia, Australia, and back to Asia (where I ultimately graduated high school). Moving at the time sucked, for sure. My younger siblings (and myself until I was 13) were mostly cool with it. Teenage years were hard. Moving into grade 9 as a newbie at a small international school was really tough. I experienced a lot of bullying/cliques. As an adult - I’m SO GLAD I moved around a lot as a kid and had the experiences I did. I’m based in Los Angeles now, and work in entertainment. The skill set I gained as an expat kid has made set hopping so easy. I travel a lot for work and can always hit the ground running. Currently in Asia visiting family, and it’s interesting to see my partner (born and raised in the same town) struggle with things that my brother and I (he’s traveling with us) find super easy. Also I have friends around the world now. So yeah, team: it’s an amazing thing in the long run
