Episode 85: Third Culture Kid in Indonesia
Eren is a Third Culture Kid (TCK) in Indonesia whose life offers a unique and enriching experience, blending diverse cultural backgrounds into a singular, vibrant identity. Indonesia, with its rich heritage, diverse population, and dynamic environment, provides a fascinating backdrop for TCKs. Let’s learn about Eren and how he navigates a life intertwined with local traditions and international influences, attending international schools, engaging in multicultural communities, and often becoming fluent in multiple languages. Living in Indonesia as a TCK means embracing the contrasts of bustling urban centers and serene rural landscapes while developing a profound appreciation for cultural diversity. The fusion of Indonesian customs with those of other countries fosters adaptability, open-mindedness, and a global perspective. However, it also presents challenges, such as grappling with a sense of belonging and identity, as TCKs often straddle multiple worlds without fully being rooted in any. This journey shapes TCKs into culturally agile individuals, equipped with unique skills and insights. Their experiences in Indonesia contribute to a rich tapestry of memories and lessons, creating a foundation for a life of continued exploration and cross-cultural understanding. Let’s discuss it!
