Anthropology is the study of people and cultures, how we live, think, and connect. For expat kids, it’s a way to adjust to life anywhere in the world. When you understand that every culture has its own “normal,” things start to make more sense. Maybe people eat dinner later than you’re used to, or they greet with a kiss instead of a handshake. Instead of feeling out of place or uncomfortable, you can approach these differences like an anthropologist, with curiosity instead

Hi, I'm Giulia, and I've moved countries multiple times. Being an expat sounds exciting, and it can be, but it also comes with challenges most people don’t really see.

Things like adjusting to new schools, making friends, feeling out of place, missing home, and taking care of our mental health while everything around us keeps changing.
