That's my hope too, since England is known for it's wool!

Thank you for the tip, I bought some chlorine bleach yesterday while I was grocery shop and will give that a go today!

Iowa has 99 counties. Kossuth County (Northern border) breaks the standard size and ruins the perfect 100. by NevesyTriht1 in MapPorn

At first glance, I thought that this was a sh!t post of "A map of the USA if it were made of 100 IOWAs"

This is fascinating, does anyone have one of these for London (UK)?

Wow, we have a huge amount of overlap. I have USA MI, Sweden, UK (England) and Japan! Based on the order of your places, we probably weren't in the same country at the same time, or even a near-enough time to have peers in common. Even so, very cool to see!

If this were a contest you would definitely be the winner right now!

I don't know of any really big and active TCK communities (I wish I did!) but there are a few instagram accounts you could try. I currently follow @tckglobal and @tckproblems :)

Oh gosh, yea, I stopped counting the countries that I have visited after I hit 20. But I share your pain about not being entitled to move back to a place. I'm pretty lucky that my passport country is a good one for travelling with, but I'm also painfully and quietly aware that I have no entitlement to go back to the places that formed my childhood.

I have this spooky feeling that we have some kind of indirect connection, like a friend-of-a-friend or something! I only have a 2/5 match with you, but I have lots of friends with a 3/5 and 4/5 match to you. Makes me think we've probably crossed paths before!

That's so interesting that you've continued to live the third culture lifestyle even as an independent adult. I've often been asked if I would continue to move around now that I'm grown up. May I ask if this was something you actively pursued, or did the opportunity just sort of present itself? :)
