Vasily gets on a call with Cristine in Los Angeles to talk about her life growing up in the Philippines with Taiwanese parents, studying in France and USA, being a 3rd culture kid and navigation global mental health issues.

We covered a lot of ground in this fun interview. Apart from taking a dive into Cristine’s upbringing between different cultures, we also discussed influence of social networks on the lives of adults and children and what we can do about the adverse effects of being online to excess. Be on the lookout for her upcoming book about third culture kids.
