“…My research was guided by the prevalent paradigm in childhood studies in social sciences, according to which children need to be studied as active agents who are themselves the best source of information about matters that concern them (Kellet and Ding, 2004: 165). Moreover, children should be seen as legitimate social actors instead of being considered as in a state of becoming adults (see, e.g., Caputo, 2001: 179; James, 2007: 263–265; Montgomery, 2009; Sobo, 2015: 55).

Increasing numbers of ‘Western’ families spend several months a year in Goa, India, and the rest of the time in the parents’ native countries or elsewhere. These ‘lifestyle migrants’ are motivated by a search for ‘a better quality of life.’ This article asks whether their children can be labeled as Third Culture Kids (TCKs) by elaborating and critically probing this concept. Based on extensive ethnography, the study not only examined what children say in interviews, but also paid attention to what they do. Findings from the study problematize the presumed elitist privilege of TCKs and the assumption that the parents have an unproblematic sense of belonging to their native ‘cultures.’ The article elaborates on what it means for the children to live in the global subcultural center of Goa and on their agency in creating the social and cultural environment in which they live.
