Conference….and survey!

A while back, I posted about attending the F.I.G.T. conference (www.figt.org). I truly am sorry for those of you who read about it, but did not go to the conference! What an amazing time!  

I don’t know if it is possible to say in a couple of sentences all that is experienced at such a conference. I got to meet so many great folks - many of them fellow TCKs - and ended up wishing the conference would last longer so I could have time to get to know more of the fellow attendees. I got to meet Paulette and chat with her, catch up with Ruth van Reken, talk with Norma McCaig (who started Global Nomads), and had a GREAT TIME! One of the exciting things was the establishment of the TCK Research Team. Most of those on the team are young TCKs - bringing with them new perspectives and ideas.

Another super benefit from the conference is meeting some of the authors who write about TCKs. Robin Pascoe is one of those well-known authors (www.expatexpert.com) and she does an enormous amount of travel and speaking - helping expat families all over the world! While at the conference, when everything at the registration table appeared to be in total chaos, Robin came to the rescue - providing coffee at very crucial moments (saving me from losing my mind).

I would like each of you (who read this blog) to go to Robin’s website and participate in a survey which she has posted on there (http://www.expatexpert.com/survey). When you participate in the survey, you are helping me tell Robin “Thank you” - for all her insight into TCKs and their expat parents via her writing, and for those wonderful cups of coffee at the FIGT conference!

    If it’s Expatriates (the parents of TCKs or single Expats) she wants to reach with her survey, maybe she should post this at InterNations? I can send her an invite if necessary.

    I’m sure InterNations would love to have her join since it’s supposed to be a site especially for Expatriates.

    Ayako, this is nice of you but I’ve talked to Robin and this survey is now over and they’re not taking any more survey takers.

    I’ll let you know if I hear some news. :)
