    Okay.....I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico (8 years). Then I moved with my parents to Suffern, NY for 2 years while they went to the seminary (they're Salvation Army pastors). I lived a summer in Lancaster, PA. Then 4 years in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Then a summer in Chicago, IL. Then 6 years in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Then a summer in Spain. Then a semester in Trieste, Italy. Now, I'm heading back to Puerto Rico to finish the last year of my B.A. Afterwards, it's either NY, Spain, or Italy for graduate school.

    ***When I say I lived for a summer somewhere, I mean I actually lived there.......not as a tourist. ;)***

    I love moving around, and I've always felt I might've been born in the wrong place. I guess I'm looking for home, in a way. Still, as I get older (which is not saying much since I'm only 20), I begin to realize home is nowhere in particular, not a physical place. Home is where I make it and where my loved ones are. The rest........beautiful adventures.

    Okay, that's slightly off-topic, but you get my point. ;p

    sorry i only feel like i came from another country....i was born in a small town of 500, in an out of the way place....the closest mcdonalds was 60 miles away....at 10 we moved to a city of 30,000...which since boomed to 100,000. I felt like a fish out of water, i experienced culture shock. it did not take ten years for a new movie to get to us....there was more to do than after school programs, not to mention the trouble that was available to a pre-teen in a city.

    I am currently live in Australia.

    I was born in Indonesia. I lived in Malaysia for almost 3 years, before move to Australia.

    I like to move to new places, to find new experiences and culture.

    I love living in Australia, but some time I miss my family back home.

    No, but have plans to live in another country for greener pasture, to have a better place to live, to evade the political bickerings in my country and to have a good environment.

    I've lived in Oklahoma, Virgina, Wisconsin, Utah, Germany, Wales.....so far.

    I've moved for various reasons, but I think I'm here to stay for quite some time where I now am with my family.
