First Post

At the Trevi Fountain in Rome about to make a wish!
I started this blog because of a competition (that I did not win) and I have continued it because I found it a good place to mix my thoughts and photographs. The reason I chose the name Unsettled TCK is because of how I grew up and how I have chosen to continue to live my life. As you can read on my About Me page, I am a Third Culture Kid (I was raised in multiple countries around the world) and I am unsettled because I have yet to find a home.

I do not know if I will ever live in one place permanently. I actually hope I don't. Stability is overrated for me and I actively cultivate my grass-is-always-greener mentality. Moving and travel has never seemed daunting to me whereas the thought of a suburban neighborhood home sends me screaming for the hills. However, I do not think my escapist mentality is entirely healthy and I am working really hard on being able to appreciate the here and the now, so wish me luck.

I hope that you enjoy living vicariously through me and that this gives you the push you were waiting for to go out and explore. The world is a big place and the only way to make it smaller is to cover as much of it as possible. Travel really is not as daunting as it seems, so what are you waiting for?
