How does being bicultural shape your life?

This week, I speak with my friend Denny, who was born in Taiwan, grew up in Argentina(!), and then moved to Hong Kong for University. We talk about how his family decided to move from Taiwan to South America, how he had to quickly learn Spanish when he moved at the age of 12, and how, because he’s lived in different places during the formative years of his life, he doesn’t feel a full sense of belonging in either place.

But what I really appreciated about our conversation was seeing how Denny really embraces life in the in-between. He sees how being both Taiwanese and Argentinian adds color and possibility, and has made him more capable of shifting behaviors to flexibly adapt to his environment.
