From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

The states, west coast in general. It's kind of funny, between the three of us in my family, we have one person born in CA, OR, and WA.
Joining from the West Coast, California.
Small Lemmy BLHW, I swear I got here browsing hot and not creeping your comments.
Portugal.
Australia
Would like to end up in Argentina or Uruguay though!
🇩🇰 💪 the flat chested bish in the Scandinavia clique.
Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!
South Africa. Might be eligible for UK citizenship though thanks to a recent-ish change that allows maternal ancestry (how progressive of them), just need the funds to get that ball rolling. And I missed out on Dutch citizenship because my father had to be the only one of his siblings born in South Africa and not the Netherlands.
The deep south.
We our own brand o' country up in hyuh.
sigh I am legally required to inform you that i was born in the state of Texas, USA...
Condolences. Keep changing where you can.

Born in Singapore, living in Norway for the last 14 years.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?
Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.
That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."
Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.
This was a delightful response to a reflex Simpsons joke. Beautiful, man!
Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).
Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.
