My original birthplace is Burnley, Lancashire, England. Right now I'm roughly a 26 hour flight away from my hometown, living in Wamberal, NSW, Australia. So I've practically moved to the other side of the Earth.

And I love it. England is a great place sure, but compared (weather and scenery wise at least) to Australia it doesn't hold a candle. I'm sure that even community wise it's a lot better, too. Then again, I have no kids that I have to worry about bringing up, and I'm almost 20, so I'm not sure I should be concerned about the safest place in that sense.

Being able to step out of my house into the sunlight most of the time is very, very nice. However I won't lie, I miss the rain and my family. Also, even though I know you have to take exchange rate into consideration, but I was on the Game.co.uk website and PS4's/XBOne's just look so much cheaper. QQ

I went away but now I'm back again! ^_^

Was moving to Australia something you decided to do on your own, or was it something parents kind of forced you to do before you were old enough to make your own decisions on the matter?

The only days I spent in the town I was born in were the days I spent in the hospital there after being born. Lived the 11 or so years of my life in another town, then we moved to where we currently live.

I absolutely hated the thought of it, when I was a child. We moved when I was 12, way before I could make my own choices. Hated it for a year or two when we got here, too. It wasn't until a year or two ago that I was happy here, up until then I was pretty miserable.

It did a number on my education, as when I moved here I was just starting high school in the UK, yet here they tried to get me to repeat from Year 5, which was not happening. I ended up in Year 6, and was young for my year. This, coupled with my at-the-time heavy Northern English accent, made me spend the first two years completely ignoring school work and focusing on making friends/assimilating. This continued up until year 9, and every year after that was just doomed from the word go.

Ended up finishing high school, but my qualification wasn't good enough to do my desired university course, so right now I'm doing casual/parttime/fulltime work until next year when I get go do a test to get me into uni. Well, that's the plan anyway.

I went away but now I'm back again! ^_^

I was born less than 10 miles away from where I live now.

When I was 3 years old I lived in Japan though, so I was thousands of miles away.

I spent my early life in Redfern, one of the Sydney area's most iconic Indigenous Australian communities. I currently now live just a couple of minutes away from there which has been the case for me since 1998, so around 16 years I have been residing at my current address.

I was born in Sochi, Russia, and live in NYC now. If memory serves it takes about 10-12 hours to get there by plane so I'm quite far away from most of my family. :( The only family I have here in the US are my parents, brother, and grandfather while everyone else is in either Russia or Greece.

I was born in a suburb of Chicago and then I eventually moved to Indiana.
Only about an hour or so away from where I was born. :) My family still lives up there, though.

Let me sing to you the song of my people

I live about 45 minutes south of St. Louis now. So not too far away. (Edit: Never lived in St. Louis, just was born there, guess it doesn't matter since I'm within an hours drive of the city.)

Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Where I have always lived, that is until I moved into my dorm at college, which isn't far from my home at all.

I was born in Tyre, Lebanon, and moved with my family to Australia when I was 4.

My dad moved to Australia when he was a kid, but later he moved back to Lebanon. My dad's parents live in Australia, as well as my mum's mother. I've got family in Lebanon, Australia, the US, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia.

Despite moving for the 7th time in the near future, all of the places I've lived have been within a 20 minute drive of the hospital that I was born in, just outside of Vancouver. At one point or another I'd live to move away, but it'd probably be weird after spending my whole life in pretty much the same area.

I was born in Kiev, Ukraine (or, rather, the Soviet Union, as it was back then :) ) , and moved to Toulouse, France with my parents when I was eleven.

When I sometimes go home, it takes me around 3.5 - 4 hours to get there by plane, not including the wait between the two planes (there are no direct flights, so I often change planes in Munich or Frankfurt, Germany) . It's not bad, especially considering whatmy family had to do when we couldn't afford travelling by plane: travelling by bus. It was 2 whole days in the bus going from Kiev to Paris, and then 5 or 6 hours to get to Toulouse by train.
