Well, I got to visit a lot of places, but I never really saw any of them. 

As said, my parents traveled for work, so traveling was just our way of life and it was pretty much something that was an everyday thing. 

When we weren't traveling, we usually lived out of suitecases in hotel rooms.

 

And I'm pretty envious of people that has lived the same place all their life.

Chile and Australia.

In Australia I've lived in Victoria and NSW. I think I've lived in just about every suburb in Sydney at some point.

It's not really that cold, and dark winters shouldn't be a problem. The climate is pretty mild.

 

What is a problem though, is the economy, job availability, and people: they are often overly nationalistic, xenophobic, attention whores for thinking they are some special snowflakes (spoiler: they are not), and barely have knowledge what's happening outside of their little bubble.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

Lived in US for my entire life.

 

In a apartment when I was first born for a few months in Grand Rapids, MI

Then we moved into a house in Grand rapids, lived there for 3 years.

Moved down to Florida when I was 4, we lived in my grandparents house for a few weeks until we found a good house in Holiday.

Moved into a house in Spring Hill FL, lived there for 7 years.

Then just recently moved into this new house in 2014, same city like 10 miles away from my old house.
