18 - A French Palestinian Born in Abu Dhabi
Cassie Destremau is a French Palestinian third-culture kid who grew up trekking the world thanks to a dad that worked in oil. Born in Abu Dhabi, she spent her childhood in France, Venezuela, Nigeria, Angola, Texas, Brazil and Dubai, spending one to four years in each country.
She attended both local and international schools, meaning many languages were learned and sometimes forgotten along the way. Her two comfort foods are machboos, an Arabic rice dish, and cassoulet, a French stew made with duck confit and sausages. Though she holds a French passport she says she feels like a stranger in French society, and so for now she's a TCK on the move.
Cassie picked sport as "the constant in her life," the "one thread among everything being so unstable in our lives." Dear listeners, what's been a constant in your life?
