Georgia born and raised here, and I've yet to live anywhere else.

That sounds SOOOO boring! When I was young I had the wanderlust, and if I'd left then it would have been easy. But marriage, then taking care of parents, intervened and the years rolled by.

Now I'm stuck because of my job, but when I can retire in just a few more years, no telling where I might end up!

Loc: Tampa, FL
I was born in the upper peninsula of Michigan and lived in Muskegon, MI (on Lake Michigan) until I graduated from high school. I went into the Marines and spent boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina. Afterwards, I was assigned to Twentynine Palms, California.

Met my first husband in the Marines, in CA, we married there and afterwards moved to Tucson, Arizona. We lived in Tucson for 7 years and moved to Phoenix for another 5 years.

I took a brief respite and moved to Nampa, Idaho and lived there for about 5 months. I took a vacation to Tampa, Florida. Liked it so much I decided to live here, and I've been here in Tampa, Florida now for over 10 years, remarried and can't imagine living anywhere else.

Well, my husband tells me I am from nowhere, ha ha!
I was born in NY, raised in Puerto Rico, moved to MA and been here since then. Married a central american guy 22 yrs. ago and I am not about to go live there any time soon, if you know what I mean. So I call MA my home away from home (P.R.).

I lived in a number of places when I was growing up. My dad wasn't in the military, but his company was a contracter for it. We started in Cincinnati, then moved to Los Angeles, Tampa, somewhere in PA, Spearfish, SD and then ended up in Dayton.

I also have traveled all over the country since my ex worked for an airline, and discovered many cities more exciting than Dayton, however my grandson is not living in any of them. I've thought about relocating for my job, but realized that wherever I lived, I would be living to come home to see my little guy and the rest of my family.

I'm stuck, but it's by choice.

Loc: Victoria BC Canada
I was born in Toronto Ontario. Came out to the westcoast as a teenager and had to return although did not move out until my late 30's.
Moved to Victoria BC and don't think I
will move anywhere else but you never know.
I love living on an island but it doesn't feel like it until you have to take a ferry or plane to get off.

Loc: Fredericksburg, Va.
Born in Biltmore North Carolina, no kin to the Vanderbilt's by the way.
Moved to Fresno, California at the age of 6. we moved several times back & forth across the country between N.Carolina & California (as much as we moved, I could have been a resident of any of those in-between states).
Age 18, back to Asheboro N.C., met my first husband (military)moved to Jacksonville, Fla., Warner Springs, Ca., Point Mugu, Ca.
Met 2nd husband, from Point Mugu, Ca. to San Diego, then on to Fredericksburg, Va.
Hubby wants to move to Texas, along with my eldest daughter...that would mean leaving the other 4 other (adult) children behind.
Don't think I can do that.

Hello ladies! Born in Connecticut, lived briefly in Texas with my ex-husband, then moved back to Connecticut again. We have a summer place in Vermont (small), so we spend lots and lots of time there, but that's about it! I would dearly LOVE to travel the world, but, alas, finances decree otherwise! [Frown] Maybe someday! Blessings...S.
