Robb and I arrived in Amman, Jordan as part of the same cohort of new teachers at ACS Amman in 2018. We quickly became friends and our families spent our first Thanksgiving in Jordan together at a camp in Wadi Rum. Talking with Robb about his ideas of home and growing up abroad was fun for me as his perspective is quite different having grown up as a third culture kid. We explored what it meant for him to grow up abroad having been born in a country different from the one on his passport, and some of the challenges of establishing that idea of home for his own kids.
