Integr...Thank you Renee :-) Glad you could relate.<br /><br />Integrated Expat - positive is the way to go right?<br /><br />I think if you are introduced to different cultures and languages from a young age you grow into a more open and resilient adult - absolutely. <br /><br />The Weekend Traveller: that's a great way to put it too. For some there is a good reason to leave a birth country behind but I think that no matter the reason there is always some positive that can be drawn from a country. There are always good things in a country. <br /><br />Thank you all for taking the time to comment.Amanda van Mulligenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328016562973171711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798372697599428727.post-11552642356750791712014-11-24T19:12:24.586+01:002014-11-24T19:12:24.586+01:00I agree with all reasons except #3.

I guess that rings true for most expats who come from third world countries. In that sense, being an expat also makes you want to make the world a better place.The Weekend Travellerhttp://www.theweekendtraveller.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798372697599428727.post-3683201564813899262014-11-06T17:04:26.860+01:002014-11-06T17:04:26.860+01:00I like the positive perspective: this is the way I...I like the positive perspective: this is the way I consider life in general. I'm expat since birth and don't know any other kind of life (so, more a TCK then). But I think that as TCKs, expats (who don't "hide" or refuse to adapt) become more open-minded, less judgmental of others and more resilient in many ways. – A great post!
