To be in between cultures feels like those moments between day and night, not fully one nor the other, but rather a vibrant sky defined by its own mix of colors. Its both a rewarding experience, with the ability to build cross cultural connections and possess multi-faceted skills; but also a lonely one, treading on undefined territory without its own community or set of guidelines.
