Who moved or stayed?
|
I still live in the town where I was born, I'm fairly happy here most of the time, and have no plans to move away (as things stand.)
My questions are.... Who stayed in the area they were born in? Who moved away, and if so why, when and where? Are any of you serial movers? 
The Y-donor moved us whenever he felt like it. Seven times in grade school. Twenty years in the USN, my "house" moved a lot.

Oh man, I was born in Delaware, then moved to Africa when I was around 3 months old. Spend 5 years there moving around to 4 different countries and visiting a bunch more, then moved to Georgia (the state), then to Dubai, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, then finally to Chicago, which is where my parents still live. I'm currently in DC working for the NIH, so I think it's safe to say I haven't stayed where I was born, heh.
Dad wasn't military, but a project engineer for power plants, oil refineries, and irrigation systems - which meant a lot of developing countries.

Wow, that sounds like some childhood, and makes mine look really boring, The farthest I travelled as a kid was to North Wales

Over 65, it's too much of a hassle. 
I was raised in central Kansas. That was good enough reason to move away.
53 years old and live about 20 minutes from where I grew up. For my wife it's only 10 minutes.

I'm a serial killer .. hehe serial movers  It started with the fact that my parents were moving.. always looking for work... then I went to college and there was no university in my area so I had to move out of the house then I started to move .. in search of work and I moved 7 times. .. and I know that the last move wasn't the last one because I live in the capital now and this is the worst place to live!!! I would like to live by the sea... btw I live in Poland
