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?

@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.

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.
