"I pounced on the Nintendo Switch 2 when it came out earlier this year because I wanted something that felt familiar while living abroad. I've been a digital nomad for nearly ten years and currently live in Bangkok, Thailand, nearly 8,500 miles away from my six children and two grandchildren. The Switch 2 lets me play the latest games with my kids, which I love to do, even when the time change makes schedules wonky."
"I'm a first-generation American with a Kenyan mom and a stepfather from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Growing up, the emphasis in our home was on working hard, doing well in school, and not taking for granted the opportunities we had in America. That meant things like video games were frowned upon. The idea of having a video game system in our home was unthinkable to my immigrant parents."
I live in Bangkok as a digital nomad nearly 8,500 miles from six children and two grandchildren. I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 to recreate familiar gaming connections and play with my kids despite time zone differences. The console evokes memories of family Wii sessions and deeper childhood experiences. I am a first-generation American raised by a Kenyan mother and a stepfather from the Democratic Republic of Congo where emphasis centered on hard work, education, and gratitude. Video games were discouraged because finances were limited and gifts were rare. I begged for a PlayStation in 1994 and set rules to earn permission.
