Introducing Josh, adult TCK born in South Korea

Greetings from Seattle!

My name is Josh Sandoz, and I’m an adult TCK, born and raised in Seoul, South Korea (with a few years in various parts of the United States occasionally tucked in here and there along the way). After graduating from Seoul Foreign School, I came to the United States (the country of my citizenship) for university. It was that first summer back that I attended a Transition Seminar, led by Dave Pollock, hosted by Interaction International. I then attended Taylor University, where I eventually met my wife (also a TCK). After finishing our degrees we remained local for a handful of years before moving to Seattle, where I have recently completed graduate studies in counseling psychology at Mars Hill Graduate School. Over the last ten years I have enjoyed volunteering with Interaction International for multiple summer Transition Seminars, walking alongside other TCKs transitioning to life in the United States and Canada. This year, I formally joined the staff at Interaction International as the Director of ATCK Services.

Interaction is committed to:

  • Meeting the needs of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) as children and as adults with families
  • Meeting the needs of parents who are raising and educating their children overseas
  • Assisting international schools as they educate and care for TCKs
  • Equip those people who work with within the expatriate community
  • Being a catalyst and a resource in the developing of programs and services to better meet the needs of internationally mobile families and TCKs.

If there is any way I can be of help to you as you venture along in your journey, please don’t hesitate to contact me through any of the following ways:

    I’m teaching at SFS now, so I see Libby Stephens every spring, and because I did my student teaching overseas, I went through Interaction International for my placement and attended a seminar beforehand on teaching in international schools that was very helpful. Just wanted to say thanks! :) How long ago were you at SFS? One of my friends who is also teaching here now was also a student here back in the day…

    Hello Josh and welcome to TCKID. It’s good to hear your mission in life is to help TCK’s. Well, I would like to also pursue a career in helping TCK’s with similar goals. I just recently graduated college and would like to know my next step would be. Could you give me some tips on what I should do? Thanks in advance.
