Episode 3

The trickle down of culture between generations…

That’s what this interview was supposed to be about but turned into so much more. 

This became a conversation between friends about international joys and challenges. I hope our tangents about language learning, deciphering spouses, and the challenges of capturing an image while travelling help you reflect on your own experience. 

Mitch Norris is Australian with German roots and abroad for 13 years.

This international educator and Mo-vember advocate, just started his most adventurous chapter yet: parenting a third culture kid with his Japanese wife.

Facing new challenges as an international parent, Mitch can now look two generations back and start to understand his grandparents in a new way. Although he and his wife do not live in the countries of their cultures, will their son absorb and value his heritage? Will he speak his mother’s mother tongue fluently?

Let’s start the conversation.
