The holidays are approaching and everyone is going somewhere. Some are visiting family overseas and others are lucky enough to travel to exotic locations. But hey, we’re still here! We’ll keep you company and keep you entertained. (read: make you procrastinate)

If you haven’t yet registered or posted, it’s the perfect day to join us. We’re running a new contest (yes, another one already!) and giving away more prizes and a special welcome from the community. But first, here are 10 reasons why you’ll love tckid.


10 reasons why you’ll love tckid and want to join us

1) We love you.

The best thing I noticed about this community is how much people actually care for each other. We know what it’s like to be different… and we’re generally open-minded. If you’ve been in the forum long enough, then you know what I’m talking about.

2) We’re very active and we can help you.

Did you know there’s an average of 6 new posts and 43 new comments per day since we launched? Yup, we talk a lot! This is one of the fastest growing and most active community of TCKs and CCKs. Do you have a question? Make a post and harness other people’s input. Maybe you want to meet other people in your city, post a survey for TCK research or have questions about friendships, traveling, family or career. Many have asked questions and got the answers they needed.


3) You’ll discover new things.

You don’t need to be a TCK! Do you know what the world’s weirdest hotels are? Did you know “garbage” is a popular baby name in Botswana? Or that people eat goat dung in Laos? Stick around and you’ll have endless conversational fodder for your friends. With over 137 amazing stories, videos, pictures, poems and interesting discussions, you’ll never be bored.

4) We’ll scratch your itch.

Many of us are living lives surprisingly similar to yours and even have the same problems. Start connecting with a member from your city or half-way around the world.

5) You’ll improve your skills.

Who needs a university degree anyway? You’ve got the world’s wisdom at your fingertips from kids and adults who grew up all over the world. You can practice a language you’ve forgotten, improve your cross cultural skills, and talk to a diverse group of people.

6) You can self-promote.

OK, so maybe you’re awesome and you need to let everyone know. If you have pictures, videos, poems, a blog or ideas you’d like to share, make a post and share your awesomeness with us.

7) We have an addicting chatroom.

If you want to chat in real-time with others, you can drop by the live chatroom anytime… but I must warn you. It’s very addicting.

8 ) We need you.

Maybe you’re a genius with great ideas or maybe you’ve discovered something and want to tell others, or you simply want to make someone’s day a little better including your own. Then you can help others.

9) We have new contests.

Contests and competitions are fun, and that’s why we have them! The previous winner won $100 USD for her story, and we’re running a brand new contest right now.

10) You won’t be the only addict at tckid!

Nika:

I’m starting a fantastic obsession with this website. That’s what I’m doing right now. And I’ll keep doing it until I have to leave for work.


Kita :

This is so exciting… I’m reading some of the posts here and the stories are soo familiar.. it’s great! I can’t believe that even after trawling the net for so long I didn’t find this place earlier! lol

Kristine:

This place is addicting, you dont know what this place has done to me hahha
i tend to be there a few hours a day. this place is addicting. trust me, once you’re in the chatroom talking to us, you’ll be hooked (understatement)

Laura :

All you guys are so awesome to talk to :)


Bonus: 11) We’ll give you a special welcome.
We have a tradition to welcome new members with a picture, preferably with lolcats or Engrish. Ok, that reason is more for Brice than for you because he loves cat pictures…
