Introduction:

This site has been created for two reasons:

1) For a semester project for my Anthropology class dealing with Applied Anthropology

2) Growing up with mixed cultured parents are hard enough, to add on living in a country that only on or neither know 100% about, it's scary; and I wanted to create a site that would bring people together who like me are growing up or grew up in a similar situation.

My goal for this project is to create a support system that will help people growing/grew up in multicultural settings to feel confident and unique knowledge of cultures outside their native country(country of passport perhaps?) Of course there are times we wish could be just like everyone else with family close by, have friends you've played with since you were all in dippers. But in most cases, for people who move around frequently, most ties to friends anywhere had to be cut off (Prior to email, chat, and facebook).

On top of all these reason, the biggest inspiration for this project is my own experiences. Growing up, I never had such support and often felt alone and that none really understood me...and with no one to really talk to at all. Why not have such a space that allows people like me to unite and share experiences, support, concerns, and most of all advise that emphasises our uniqueness that most of the world will never experience.

Often I wished I had lived a 'normal life' whatever that is....but something I wish someone would have told me sooner that: "Our experiences(moving around country to country, growing up in multiple different cultures...etc.) should makes us stand out and be special, being normal is boring"
