How many places have you lived?

I'm thinking about distinctly different places, not moving down the street. I've lived in Maryland, South Florida, Central Florida (several cities within), and now... Okie Ville. I don't remember living in Texas, but I was born there.

You?

@silvereyes -- The list is way too long. Just some highlights here, assuming you mean longer than two months where one had time to unpack:

Salem and Portland, OR

Seattle and Kent, WA

Anchorage, Eagle River, Tok Junction, Fairbanks, and Jack Wade, AK

San Francisco, North Hollywood, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Victorville, Landers, and San Diego, CA

Hobbs, NM

Houston, Clearwater, League City, La Marque, and Galveston, TX

Miami, Miami Beach, Hollywood Hills, Coral Gables, and Fort Lauderdale, FL

Greenwich Village, NY

Hartford, CT

Madison, WI

Bremen, Germany

Taipei and Tainan City, Taiwan

Ulsan, South Korea

Hong Kong

Yokohama, Japan

Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico City, and Puebla, Mexico

@AMGT -- For just a bit over 28 years I was a Naval Architect and frequently worked as an on site troubleshooter at shipyards and on ships at sea. I was responsible for ship sciences in several places too. I was also called on for large yacht jobs from time to time. Shoreside work was on special contracts -- generic name, job shopping around the country. LOL ... my two months or less list is a lot bigger.

No favorites. Everywhere is different. The thing I like most is learning about the people wherever I go. I never live in the gringo enclaves, but always get some place out among the people. Occasionally I've had the opportunity to stay with a local family as a room and board thing. Lots of fun and big time educational.

In 2009 I lived in Apple Valley and worked out of Hesperia.

@Paul628 -- Know them both well. I forgot to put in Big Bear, bah. I ran the math lab at Victor Valley College for a couple of years.

@evidentialist I went tubing at Big Bear Lake once, very cool.

@silvereyes -- As I said in the comment, I don't have any favorites. They all have their positives and negatives, culture, language, history, and so forth. They were all fascinating. I'm into people and people watching.

Wow! Somebody who has moved more than I! 🙂 Victorville threw me off. How did you end up in Victorville - Never mind -- just saw the rest of the comments.

@BlueWave -- And the list is truncated to only longer stays. You should see the short term list. 35 countries and all 50 states -- and now that I'm old and sick and tired and weak, if I were offered the opportunity to go somewhere new --- I wouldn't hesitate. It might kill me, but I'd go.

@BlueWave -- I'd very much like to go to Mars.

Just 1, Close enough to get to cities and close enough to get to the lake and relax.

Your whole life, Firelander?

Yes. Stayed close for school. And loved being by the lake. Definitely have traveled domestically, but have always landed at home. It’s an adventure still.

5

Belize
Norway
Australia
Guatemala
Bolivia
US. FL. CA. and Virginia
Canada Alberta, BC and Ontario

Very cool! What was your favorite place?

Really hard to pick.
More often I enjoy the people from northern European, Canada, Australia and some Latino countries. Landscape wise New Zealand, Napel, BC, Belize and Bolivia.

Visit over a 100 countries and revisit most of them. Mostly through sports and proforming arts business.

How much time do you have? Let's just say my mom has always been a "the grass is greener over there" kind of person when it comes to where she lives. The one good thing I got out of that is that I have never been afraid of change. Let's see....I'll count after.

0-3 - SANTA MONICA/SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
3-5 - Southern Idaho - PAYETTE
6-15 - North Idaho
The house that burned down - POST FALLS
Some house that used to be an Army barracks - ATHOL
The yellow house - COEUR D' ALENE
The Pettibone House (her first divorce here) - right across the road from the Yellow house
The one bedroom shack with five kids and the monster (second husband) - POST FALLS
The split level - POST FALLS
The farm house - COEUR D' ALENE (got our Welsh pony here/learned to ride motorcycle)
The Dover house - near SANDPOINT
Spokane Street house - POST FALLS
Corbin Road - POST FALLS - divorce from the monster
At 13 - moved to RENO, NEVADA for ONE month during the school year
The log house - COEUR D' ALENE (but Post Falls schools)
15 - 19/20ish
CANOGA PARK for a minute - Grandma's
RESEDA - paternal aunt and uncle
COEUR D' ALENE - with my mom -- till I realized why I left the first time. Didn't last long.
RESEDA - paternal aunt and uncle

Adult
GLENDALE
MISSION HILLS
SYLMAR
CHATSWORTH - daughter born
IDAHO - Viola/Moscow - dad's
SHERMAN OAKS
SEATTLE / FEDERAL WAY - mom/siblings there - daughter lived most of her life there
NEW ORLEANS - 9 years so far (plan on leaving when I retire or win the lotto)

So for me, several general areas and many many actual addresses.

So, a bit too confusing to count -- places, houses, whatever. We'll just say A LOT. The moving and always being the "new kid" was very disruptive, scary, and dysfunctional as a child.

In the present, with my daughter being grown, if I could live another 100 years, I'd try at least five or ten more places for 2-8 years each. Went Maine last summer -- OMG, I would LOVE to live there -- at least during the summer. Montreal is one of the coolest cities ever! Living near the Colorado Rockies would be a dream! Somewhere in California so I could have In-N-Out Burger and El Pollo Loco would be awesome. Somewhere near the Smoky Mountains.....life is just way too short.
