Today, we are happy to welcome Grace Morelos with us on the podcast. Born in the Philippines and having lived in Thailand and the United States during her formative years, she is now a teacher at an international school in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Her experiences as a Third Culture Kid were pivotal in her professional journey – she is dedicated to supporting children going through the challenges of transitioning to a new school system, language and culture as she once did. Grace is the teacher that she needed when she was a student.

Grace has written a Master’s thesis about how travel can help ease rootlessness and restlessness among third culture kids. Travel can provide a "breath of fresh air" and a change of scenery that helps us stay grounded for longer periods of time in any given place.

Accomplishments are not always measured through awards and achievements – sometimes it's about learning to be content with who you are, what you have, without feeling the need to constantly reach for more.

We hope that this episode motivates you to go out there and explore the world, not just physically but also mentally. Please share this episode with your family and friends and leave us a review.
