Where is home for someone who comes from a dual heritage background, and who is not living in the country of either of their parents? What may seem as a simple question to some, represents an identity struggle for many around the world.

Saufeeya Goodson is a social media personality with dual heritage: she is American and Moroccan. She has also been living in Dubai, a city that is different than where her parents came from. Saufeeya identifies herself as a third culture kid, and throughout her life, she always questioned what home meant to her.

Saufeeya’s search for home is not a unique quest. It represents the story of millions of third culture kids around the world, and their search for the feelings of home and belonging.
