What was it like growing up in one of the many "international bubbles" here in Taiwan? Meet Annabelle Hsu, in her article “The Tenant of Two Countries,” as part of the Center’s “Third Culture Kid” series.

In her article, Annabelle reflects on growing up in Taiwan and the struggles of being caught between two nationalities. But through watching her grandfather find a home everywhere he went, she begins to rethink what it means to belong.
