How far have you moved from where you were born...?.

As for my self I was born In New South Wales in A City, called Broken Hill, which had a population of about 50.000 people
When I was young .I moved to SA in the. 1970s approx 500 km from where I was born. I still live in South Australia .

The town of BH was kept alive so to speak by the mining of silver lead and zinc and a little gold, Most of the mines have since closed with only I believe re cycling of the dumps to extract any missed or remaining ore. Two of my sons still live there
I'm not sure if it is still classified as a city or a town due to now only having a population of approx 20.000 people.
BH is a fairly isolated town/ city, The S.A / NSW border is only 45 km from, Broken Hill therefore BH is the only city in NSW who maintain SA times and laws despite other NSW towns and cities being half an hour time difference to BH
 

I moved from Scotland to England, from England to Germany, back to England then to Italy, back again to England then to Southern Spain, and back again.. :D
 

Lived within 30 miles of where I was born and raised until I was 41,then moved 130 miles North to where I spent every weekend and summer while growing up. So I haven`t really gone very far. Always been and always will be a California girl...
 
Born in the State of NY. Raised there and in Indiana. Left Indiana for So California (Navy) for some years. Stayed in So Cal for a number of years, before trying to relocate back to Indiana and then to Colorado, Wyoming or Montana, but those times of trying to "relocate" just didn't work and wound up back in So Cal. After meeting my wife, we moved from So Cal to Colorado and then to North Carolina and then to northeastern Florida, where we are now. One more move for us and that could very well be back to Colorado.

Haven't been back to my "birthplace" since leaving the State of NY when I was 6.
 
Michigan - Massachusetts - Florida - Michigan - Tennessee - England - Scotland - Uganda - Scotland. Longest distance 7,445 miles from birthplace to Uganda.

On my annual trips to Michigan to visit my family I'm about 22 miles from where I was born.
 
I've come full circle, now living just a few streets away from where I was born in the north west England. First 7 or 8 years of my life here then a few months in Syria, followed by a move to Kuwait where I stayed until I was around 19. Back to the UK where I moved around a bit....north Wales, Isle of Wight, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire then eventually back home. No more moves for me, happy where I am.
 
five miles, same town I was born in different house....my nephew lives in the house I was born in my brother only moved two miles away....
 
I am very far away from my birthplace in Europe. We moved to Australia when I was a child and then Vancouver B.C. From there I went to Montreal, then back to Vancouver, then India then Ottawa and now Toronto. So you might say I've been around a bit.
 
OK Cookie, no need to tell anyone anything if you don't want to on here... :)

I wasn't a forces brats I was a forces wife ( Royal Navy) so we moved loads in our first few years of marriage..
 
I was born in New York City, moved to illinois when I was 9, to Minneapolis when I was 22, and to various other places around MInnesota since then.
 
I've had several moves, along the east coast in between all the way back to NY as well This was my third move to FL and most likely my last, but, who knows what the future may bring, my original goal was for my youngest sister and I to move to San Diego, CA, that's what we talked about when we were in our 20s, then I married and ended up in NJ. My first post I just noted where started out to where I ended up now. :) I always knew, I wanted to be somewhere warm and where I could go swimming more than 3 months out of the year, outdoors without. :D

I almost reconsidered another move to CA, but, then a nice gentleman made me aware of the ocean temps much of the year aren't all that conducive to swimming without a full body suit. :( Though I think I would probably like CA better than FL in many other ways.
 
Counting my service time, we've moved around quite a bit.
Norwich, Ny to Fort Dix, NJ
Fort Dix to Aberdeen, Md?
Aberdeen to Paso Robles, CA
Paso Robles to Norwich, NY
Several moves in NYS.
Utica, Bainbridge, New Hartford, Whitesboro,NY, Sylvan Beach, NY
Sylvan Beach to Palm Bay, Fl.

I hope that's it for awhile.
 
I was born in Portland Oregon and the furthest I've ever lived from there is a small town in OK. I won't say the name of the town as it had a lot of self-rightous close minded people in it. We were there for 18 months and I were sure glad to get the heck out of there. My husband was born in OK and I did want to spend some time there and see what it was like. We did not live in or near the town he was born in which was Stillwater and I'm sure it's a great place. He left OK when he was 4 years old so it was an interesting experience for both of us and our kids.
