Meet cross cultural people of all ages from all over the world. What is a Third Culture Kid (TCK)?
Hey guys!I’m a TCK from bulgaria/chicago now living in nyc. I went to an IB school in chicago and all my friends were TCKs pretty much, but i don’t know any tcks in nyc! Would any TCKs in the area be interested in organizing a meet-up event of some kind? Has anyone ever done this before? I’m not really sure how it works, but I’m sure we can make it happen!

Avalexan,
MeetUp.com is a good site to do this through.
I’ve been MIA for the summer struggling with my own wanderlust but I was recently thinking about starting the NYC Third Culture Kid MeetUp group on the site.
I’ve never done this before and I’m kind of nervous…hopefully we can get this up and going and see what develops.
Any advice or suggestions anyone?
If you do please email me at lajablesse@gmail.com
thanks!

Hiya everyone,
I set up a NYC TCK/CCK group on MeetUp.com
The first meet up is planned for Thursday Nov.6th @ 7 in Tribecca.
For info please see the meet up site at http://www.meetup.com/puzzledpieces-nyc/
InterNations also hosts monthly gatherings. I went to the October gathering last Thursday and it was amazing to see so many “internationals” in one room.

Ok, here’s the deal, I’m going to be in NYC on the 6th for an evening show over at Piano’s on the lower east side later on in the evening. When will this take place, and where? (don’t feel like signing up for meetup.com)

The New Yorkers are at it again!
We are having another meet up this week!

We have also set up a NYC Third Culture Kids site so that we can better coordinate the things that we want to plan in the city and to get an idea of what are some of the specific interests and needs of TCKs in the New York City area.
The site is : http://nycthirdculturekids.wordpress.com
There are also links to the NYC TCK Facebook group and the NYC TCK MeetUp group.
If you can make it please RSVP on the site.
