Most of us, I believe, have moved to many places in our entire lifetime but I'm just wondering, have you returned and eventually live in your birthplace at this moment? If not, was there a time that you gave it a thought of going back to the place where you were born and live there for good? What makes the place memorable to you? Please share your thoughts, Thanks.

Hi dear...I live in the same city where I was born 20 years back.My parents came here after their marriage and they settled here.So, we never had a chance to shift our living.I love my country and I am vey lucky to be here.Even If I go to other countries, I'll try to die on my motherland...We are living here for a long time,I observed a lot of changes in this city,and also a lot of changes in the people who are very helpful.It will be very hard to leave this place now,because we are very used to it and I have a lot of friends here...We prefer to be here,even though we have some more houses at other places in the country... Have a nice day!!Keep smiling

I am still living relatively near my birthplace and in the same state, but I plan to move away in the near future. My town is great, but I don't see much room for advancement here.

I live in my birth state, in a suburb outside of the city that I was born in. I have lived in this state all of my life in surrounding cities. The majority of both sides of my family are here. Though I have been to many places that I would like to stay short term, this is home for me and I have no plans to live anywhere else.

I'm not far from my birthplace. I have moved a ton of times and ended up just moving in a circle around it. Now I'm close to it but never get to go there much because I don't have a car, but I do miss it.

I am still living in the same place i was born in. I have never moved away. But we are planning to in the next few years. As we do not see ourselves growing old in the town we live in now. I can't wait to move away as i do not like where i am at the moment.

I am. I've lived in another country for some time before though but I finished my college education here in the Philippines. it's hard to be away from my family and my friends. I know that some people travel a lot but we Filipinos have very strong relationships with members of the family. So I think if I do live elsewhere in the future I'll always come back home. :)

Hi mjmlagat! Sadly, I am not living in my birthplace now. I make money in other city with my boyfriend. But I am sure I will back to my hometown sooner or later.

I live very nearby my birthplace. A few kilometres between the house I was born and raised and the house I live in now. The house where I was born is memorable me, just because it's my old home and has a lot of memories (and also because my parents live there). The village has changed a lot, and the inhabitants also, so I don't really like going there. But my boyfriend does, because he likes shopping there.

Hello,Lagat! I am away from my native place.It in a distance of only 450 kms away from the place.I was working in this city and settled permanently here because the climate and other advantages like higher education and advanced medical facilities.And on rare occasions I visit my native place.thanx.

Hi there, I am not living in the place I was born. My family moved from my birthplace to a place where my mom finished school and had work. We moved when I was still a baby. I had my first birthday in the place where I am now. Every Christmas or summer vacation my family go on vacation to my birthplace but not in same town. I've been there in my birthplace (town) a few times only last time I went back was to get my birth certificate. My mom moved us out because she can't bear anymore the risks when there are typhoons and calamities and the place is a hotspot when election time is near. The last time I went back, the town is still very underdevelop.
