Who we are

We are the Goll family, Robert/高阳, Elyse /云虹, Elijah/天义 (2010), Isaiah/天成 (2014), Josiah/天为 (2018) and Moriah/天珊 (2024). We are a cross culture family team for 3rd Culture Living. (Read how we met across oceans or our Journey.) My husband, Rob, and I co-author the blog posts. Rob also takes care of the technical issues to keep the site running smoothly. After moving from the big city in China in 2010, we lived in the suburbs in Ohio for 13 years and moved to the country in Brighton, Missouri in 2024. We enjoy family time, simple living, exploring the wonder of God’s work in nature and human life. We are learning, relearning or unlearning cultural expectations as we learn to live as citizens for the Kingdom above.
