Can you remember every place that you've ever lived? I can't. I can't even begin to count how many times I've moved. It's horrible really.
Anyways, I thought it would be fun to see where people have lived and do live. I'm in the USA and I've lived in Indiana (which is where I am now), Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Iowa, and West Virginia. I've moved A LOT!

I can remember all the places I have lived but I may have the order of them mixed up because for a long time I was shoved from pillar to post. I have only lived in one state and that is Indiana, but many places in Indiana. I have moved alot but not a long distance from where I grew up.

Where are you in Indiana? I'm in Logansport. I've just moved from Peru. I've lived several places here in Indiana too! This is where I was born, and it seems like I'm always drawn back here! It's not a great place to be but it's ok.

I am in Leavenworth, but my hometown is New Albany, Indiana. I don't like Leavenworth at all. there is nothing here and they do not want to ever have anything here. It is in the country and we thought we would like it here when we bought our home in 1998, but boy did we not know what we were getting into. We really don't want to move back to New Albany either. We would like to move to another state when my husband retires.

I was born and brought up in Trichy a town in South India.The major part of my childhood, adulthood, carefree college dayswere spent in one house. After I got married I went to a place Hyderabad where we lived in my fatherinlaw's Govt Quarters. Later , once again I shifted to a city in South India[Chennai] where I changed residence twice within 2 yrs.and then it continued . Another small beautiful place Krishnagiri,[a semi town/village , and two houses. Later back to the city where I had stayed earlier. Then it was my home town TRICHY where I had to shift twice before going to my wonderful place of childhood.Here I could stay for 11 years and after that I have shifted once again to Mumbai, where space is at a premium. So, now I have mentally geared myself for this nomadic existence and do not accumulate any curios, unnecessary junk etc.., All this resolve goes for a toss when it concerns books and clothes.

I lived in Tampa, it's a big city. I didn't like it. I'm a small town girl and there was a lot of crime in Florida.

We have moved three times, but all in just the same state/province. I am from the Philippines, I lived in Cavite the very moment I got out of this world!LoL
I guess it's not that complicating, since I still get to visit most of my friends and some of my relatives are also residing near to us..

I have lived in many places also, but I can remember them all, so maybe not as many as you Stephanie5. For the past ten years I've lived in Thailand.
I lived in Melbourne, Auatralia before that, with a short stint in Perth before moving to Thailand.

I have not moved much in my life. I was born in Michigan and lived there until two years ago. Then we moved to Pennsylvania for a year and now we are in Ohio. My husband had an interview with a company from Missouri if that works out we will be moving there soon.

My family had moved for several times because the reason of the changes of my parents' work from a village to a city. I changed several schools also due to this. We lived in different place and know more new vicinages after our move. I think it's also a good experience for me.

I've lived in three states...Michigan (where I was born), Texas and Missouri. Out of the three, Michigan is my favorite b/c of the water and Missouri is second. Texas is allright but it's too much of a rat race.

I am moved a lot in my life. And I was not a military brat.
Huntsville, Alabama - don't remember a thing. Portsmouth, Virginia - remember some, but mostly from pictures and family stories. Germantown, New York - remember it fondly. Waxahachie, Texas - remember it all, trying to forget some of it. Ocean Springs, Mississippi - remember it all fondly. Hattiesburg, Mississippi - college years, best time of my life, remember it very fondly. Dallas, Texas - remember it all, started out married life there. Plano, Texas - still here, loving every minute of it.
