-- What is a Third Culture Kid?

An individual who, having spent a significant part of the developmental years in a culture other than their parents’ cultures, develops a sense of relationship to all of the cultures while not having full ownership in any. Elements from each culture are incorporated into their life experiences, but their sense of belonging is in relation to others of similar experience. -- David C. Pollock


-- What is a Cross Culture Kid?

A person who has lived in—or meaningfully interacted with—two or more cultural environments for a significant period of time during developmental years. - Ruth E. Van Reken
