What Happens to Your Identity When You Move Abroad? | Marc Alcobe
Description
There’s an assumption most people grow up with…
That home is fixed.
That identity is stable.
That where you start… is where you understand yourself from.
But what happens when that changes?
In this episode of Thought Atlas, we sit down with Marc Alcobe to explore identity, belonging, and what it means to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
We talk about:
How identity shifts across different environments
What creates a real sense of belonging
The experience of becoming “almost local”
How people navigate unfamiliar systems and cultures
Why uncertainty can reshape how you see yourself
This is a calm, reflective conversation about stepping outside the familiar — and what that reveals about who you are.
