Shifting Lenses

Third Culture Kids: “children who move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity”.

We are two third culture kids documenting what we have observed in the travels we have been so fortunate to experience. Home for us is the USA, but also China for eight years, and now Singapore. Growing up in different countries has shaped the way we view the world. We hope you enjoy reading our reflections on our expat life and travels.

Favorite US Cities based on Culture: Miami, FL

I have a soft spot for Miami. The white sand beaches with their colorful lifeguard stands are iconic, and the wide sidewalk that runs alongside the beach is perfect for biking, skating, or just walking and taking in the view.

The city’s Art Deco architecture, especially in South Beach, is unique and distinctly Miami. It gives the area a retro charm. The food scene is also incredible, with countless Cuban restaurants serving up delicious food and strong coffee. My parents, who are big coffee drinkers, loved the cortados, while I was a fan of the fruity Jupina pineapple soda.

Like San Antonio, Miami fully embraces its Hispanic roots and culture. Though I’ve never been to Cuba, I appreciate how Miami allows me to experience a taste of it through the music, the food, and the overall vibrant atmosphere.
