I'm always confused when someone asks where I'm from–you mean now, or originally? Anyway, Nottingham, England for the first 25 years, then Guildford for a year then into London for 10 years. Then moved to Paris, France for 4 years. Then to California (Silicon Valley) for 5 years and now in British Columbia for nearly 3 years. I've worked in about 35 countries around the world and managed to visit about 31 of the 50 states of the US.
It's interesting reading this thread and seeing just how few people stay where they were born...

Currently I live in Eula, a little farming community just outside of Abilene, TX.
I'm originally from Roswell, NM. Moved to Eula in '99 when I was 12 years old; stayed here all the way through undergrad. I then went to Idaho State in Pocatello, ID for grad school; spent two years there and moved back to Eula. I won't say I have a particular attachment to this town, but I feel like I'm needed here. When I moved back I resumed my roll as Pipe Sergeant of the Abilene pipe band and that was also about the time the old ringing master of our change ringing guild stepped down and I took over, so I feel I have a "place" here.

Brooklyn-born-&-bred (Brownsville, then E. Flatbush). Spent my early 20s in Seattle; lived here in Chi-beria since summer of ’78.....moved here just in time for the Blizzard of ’79. Lived in three different n. side neighborhoods, but have lived in our current home (just burned the mortgage) longer than I’d lived in NYC and Seattle combined.
Looking at moving back to the PNW when my husband retires. Both Seattle and anywhere decent in NYC are way too expensive, so considering Eugene or Portland.
