Here are some of Sammy's tips if you are moving overseas:
- Keep family traditions alive (like celebrating Sinterklaas?)
- Bring soms familiar items from your home and put them in your new home.
- Create a special album or a box with memories and add new things as you go along. Then when you look at it you can remember all the great times.
- Stay in touch with old friends. Email is a good idea or you can also send a parcel.
Sammy hopes you have a great move!

Helen was a third culture kid and she has lived and worked in 11 countries. Helen is a Canadian/British educational consultant who is currently living in Australia.
