I met Tina at the fabulous Families in Global Transition conference a few years ago. Then two years back she hired me to help her to tighten up and publish her book. The Global Nomad’s Guide to University Transition is much needed. I know because I have a global nomad child of my own, who has lived in five countries and headed ‘home’ to university in London this year. My son, Sam, wished he’d had this book before he left. Now those who follow in his footsteps, and their parents, can begin to understand the unique transition that takes place when a TCK (Third Culture Kid) goes to uni.
Here is my interview, yesterday, with Tina, whose book came out last [...]

This is a first for me, to publish two versions at the same time. And it was a joy [...]

expatriate stuff By Jo Parfitt, on February 9th, 2010
Eek! I guess that’s me.
I’m always keen to promote surveys conducted by people I know. I met Diane Endo two years ago at the Families in Global Transition conference in Houston www.figt.org and will meet her again next month when she runs a workshop on this issue. She specialises in transition issues encountered by the [...]
about me By Jo Parfitt, on April 2nd, 2009
I can hardly believe the journey I’ve had since March’s Inspirer. Physically, I’ve been to Houston to the Families in Global Transition conference for the fifth time and then on to the Virgin Islands to take part in a girls’ sailing trip with a bunch of people I had never met before. So, I guess [...]

expatriate stuff By Jo Parfitt, on August 1st, 2008
I have.
The call for papers, at this massively valuable expat conference (I’ve been 5 times) closes at the end of August. They want new blood, new research and something different to add to their usual mix of experts, old hands and old favourites (that’s me, folks). I’ve put in my bid to talk about starting [...]
