Well, I've moved quite a few times in my life already. But it has never been a case like "intercountry or interstate evacuation".
My parents sent me to study here in the city when I was five years old. They stayed in the province while I started my life here in the city living with my mom's younger sibling and her own family. We're more than five hours apart. Every summer vacation and holidays, I do make trips going home to be with my parents even for a short time. After I graduated from college, I took a review course for the board exam I took more than a decade ago. Then, I began my first job after college in a local bank here in the city. I spent more than five years working for the firm. Then I decided to try my luck working in the province. Luckily, I got my second job in a bank again. I stayed here for one year. I got married and my husband and I decided that I resign from my job so that we could have a baby. I was jobless for more than a year and we resided in my in-laws' house in the province. When our finances dwindled, I decided to resume working with my spouse's permission. Now, we are both working here in the city again.
Personally, I really find it difficult having this setup and I would prefer staying in one place with my own family intact; without having to commute regularly for more than an hour.

I really dislike moving to a place where I know no one at all. I recently had to do this because my husband is in the military so I had to move with him to El Paso, Texas. And he just left 2 weeks ago to get stationed in South Korea. So now it really sucks because I am all alone in our house. I mean I have my dog which I am very thankful for but it sucks to know no one. I just started talking with my neighbor a little more. I've also been trying to keep myself very busy with any and every kind of job possible. So I won't come home to an empty house or have nothing to do but sit in an empty house.
