92meuEpisode 8 - YantiIn this episode, we sit and chat with Yanti, one of our listeners! She reached out to us through Instagram (which you can find us on @92meu) and gave great encouragement to us while sharing a bit of herself. It led to us inviting her on to our show, and we got to meet her and know her more. Her story differs a bit from our previous guests as she grew up a diplomat's kid, meaning she generally lived in more places for shorter times. Join us as we find out more! It's nice to meet you.2020-06-0453 min

92meuEpisode 3 - JohanToday as we interview Johan from India, we are introduced to a slightly different type of TCK. Regional TCKs are TCKs who, though might not have even traveled outside of the country, grew up in an environment very different from their own culture just due to the sheer size of the country. It was a very fun, laugh-filled, sit-down with Johan as we interviewed about his past, present, and talked a little about the future of other TCKs. So fun that we lost track of time, and went way overboard. While some parts of his story are cut out...2020-04-3050 min
