Citizen of the World - Crazy Lisbon

I'd like to use tumblr to remember my travels, bring attention to the fantastic yet unsettling life of a foreign service child and to rediscover the fun I had in Zambia, South Africa, Portugal, Germany and Austria. I had a unique childhood that provided me with lots of adventures and a worldly perspectives. Now, I hope to share my stories and experiences to give a greater understanding of the third culture child.
As an American who lived 90% of my life overseas created an identity crisis. I couldn't identify with the typical American childhood and I was constantly moving into a new culture and having to learn new survival skills. I was fortunate to have a loving and supportive family and friends around the world to give me a great community.
It's not easy growing up with parents working in the Foreign Service, but it is truly incredible and worth every experience.
