Words for Wanderers & Sojourners

Hello!
I'm Lynette Allcock Yoon, a teacher in Korea, Christian writer, and former radio host. ​I write from an expat, TCK perspective.
I love helping fellow wanderers feel seen and heard, as I share stories and resources about overcoming the challenges and finding the beautiful in our cross-cultural experience.
​Living abroad (and growing up in different cultures) is a curious mix of pain and pleasure.​
​
Culture shock. Loneliness. Awkwardness. Feeling out of place. Wondering where you belong. Wondering if you're making a difference. ​
But there is also learning, adventure & excitement, growth, exploration,
new friendships, and new perspectives.​
Sometimes the hard times feel overwhelming.
There is a way through, and beauty still to be found. ​
On this website, you can find my blog, a selection of published articles,
and some podcasts from my time as a radio host.
​ ​
Join me for encouragement, stories, and help for creating
a beautiful, cross-cultural life.​
