Where have you lived?

London, Portsmouth, Sydney, Colombo, New York, San Francisco, Paris, Bahrain, Brussels, Ankara, Istanbul, Rome
 
I have only lived in Norway, but have had extended stays in the following countries:

Sweden, Denmark, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, several US states, Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.

Problaby more too, but I've forgotten.
 
Cincinnati, Ohio, all my life. Well we do own a condo in Boca Raton, Florida, but I can't say that I stayed there for more than two weeks. We can't move there permanently because it's 65+.

Impressive mix you have there, was it a job / career that took you to all these places?

I live in Germany right now, moved here from Ireland.
 
Just Springhead, Lees then back to Springhead again. Lovely place. We have property out in Gorlice, Poland but we don't live there. It's just a holiday destination for now (can't speak more than a few words in Polish 😱).
 
Toronto, Ontario and Edmonton, Alberta. But I don't really remember that much about Edmonton since I lived there when I was a very young kid.

I just moved to manchester for uni. Loving it so far!

About 20% of the students on my course have to spend their 3rd year in Preston. It's been fondly renamed de-preston 😛

As for me - I've lived in 4 houses in the same city in South East England, and am now in Manchester.
 
Lived in Edinburgh (Scotland, UK) for 20 years then headed out to Graz, Austria. Was meant to be there for 6 months then heading on to Madrid, Spain but I only last 3 before I fled back to the UK.

Not in any rush to leave the UK for mainland Europe again anytime soon.

I don't want to turn this into a skunk thread, but do you mind sharing what your field of study was in college? Classics?

That must have been a fascinating childhood, being exposed to such a broad range of cultures... did you at some point make the decision to return home, or did it just work out like that?

I would have liked to have studied architecture, but decided on engineering instead... I really must pick up a few good books on architecture, I could do with a new interest 😱
 
Only counting stays longer than 3 months:
  1. Monterrey, MX
  2. Amsterdam, NL
  3. Houston, TX
  4. Barcelona, SP
  5. Chilangolandia (mexico city's true name, the sewer of civilization)
  6. Barcelona, again

Hope there is not too much moving in my future, after a while, it tends to get weary.
 
I've moved around, but have mostly just stayed in Oregon.

Vancouver, WA
Salem, OR
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Salem, OR. (different part)
Vancouver, WA
Gresham, OR
Troutdale, OR
Beaverton, OR
Corvallis, OR
Lake Oswego, OR

(There were quite a few house changes in Salem and Fort Lauderdale too)

Now I'm just waiting until I can move far far away...
