was talking about this with some friends yesterday. some had lived all over the country etc.
i'm 20 and have lived in the same town all my life - apart from 8 months a year when i live on my own-ish in another city at University. but i do want to live in other places at some stage. London, New York, Las Vegas and a few others are on my 'life-list'. anyway - question is how far are you from where you were born? maybe also include when/why you moved? what were the benefits/downsides of living in many different places? ok tyia.

I'm a typical American, I've lived all over the place.
Born near Chicago, grew up in Arkansas, lived in the Atlanta area for 14 years, now near Sacramento, California. So, 2000-odd miles from where I was born. |

i should add that it has only been in the last 2 years that i have lived in the other city (Leicester - about 100 miles from home) for 8 months each year.
my first 18 years were solely in hometown. but i am well traveled in terms of holidays etc... aus,hong-kong, various in usa.. most of europe... but obv living in a place is v different to staying in a hotel and not doing any work for 2 weeks then flying home with a tsn... in a more general point... should we aspire to live in different places? maybe it is a bit sad/wasteful to live in one place all your life? obv you have to take into account having the funds etc to be able to move.. |

Yes, I said 'typical American' but so far maybe not so typical.
Very American to follow the money wherever it may be, though. |

Lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Colorado, Georgia, Wisconsin, Germany, and Malta. Several places in each state/country. These are all places I have lived, not travelled; that list would be much longer. Texas barely counts, as I was only there 6 weeks, but I was born there, so it's on the list.
Almost half my life was spent in Atlanta (5 areas in Atlanta that I can think of off the top of my head). I am currently about 6000 miles from where I was born and 5300 miles from where I grew up. I'm 25 now. I try to move every 6 months to a year. My thing when I was younger was that I would never own more than I could fit in the trunk of my car. Now I don't even own a car. I do have about a truck-load worth of books at my mother's house. Whenever I visit, I bring books I've bought since I was last there and leave them. |

Im the perfect 2 hours away.
Perfect because it's close enough for my parents to visit, but far enough that they don't do it very often... |

I was born in Northern WI but that can't count as my family moved to Columbus Ohio when I was only 2.
Grew up in Columbus until I was 20 and moved to SE WI. About 450 Miles Was in a couple of different towns but basically SE WI for 19 years until we moved here to SE Montana. A little over 1000 miles Been out here in the middle of nowhere for 8 years now. LOVE IT! |
