Where 's everybody from ???
 
I figure most of the 'fodorites' on this board are American, I'm from England. So where are you from ?

I'm American, originally from Michigan, then moved to North Carolina, and now live in Washington, DC -- and love it here. Travel is my passion, but Washington DC is a wonderful place to come home to.

elvira Apr 26th, 2001 06:48 AM

New England by birth (1/2 French-Canadian), lived in Tennessee (don't ask), and now have been in the American Southwest for the last 16 years (by choice - the desert is beautiful). <BR> <BR>For the last 2+ years, I've been trying to get transferred to England.

Sue Apr 26th, 2001 07:00 AM

Born in Topeka, Kansas; lived in Galveston, Texas; River Forest, IL (suburb of Chicago); Fort Worth, Paris, Albuquerque, Las Vegas. Almost any place I travel is cooler than here (thank goodness). But it's a dry heat :~)

Lily Apr 26th, 2001 07:01 AM

Hi. I'm originally from North Carolina but have lived in Atlanta for the past 15 years. Getting seriously tired of the traffic and the heat and would love to relocate, ideally to the U.K., but that's unlikely. We generally travel to Europe about twice each year.

Jeanette Apr 26th, 2001 07:05 AM

Hello! I've lived a long and exciting life in Chicago IL. I've read about 6 or 7 books a week at night since I was a kid, so most of my travel (outside the USA) has been through words until my late 30's. Tried to make up for it since then, but would love to see a lot more of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in particular. In two years or so, I plan to be in Europe for about 2 to 3 months. <BR> <BR>Come to Chicago to see a big city that loves to host everyone and that holds an endearing American flavor unlike any other. Our lions went back up in front of the Art Institute today and they promised they won't move them again for 100 years.

Sheila Apr 26th, 2001 07:13 AM

Live in a small town about 1 and 1/2 hours from Memphis, TN. Travel whenever I can but would love to travel more.

Lori Apr 26th, 2001 07:55 AM

Born in Seattle, transplanted to and raised in Honolulu, have since lived in Providence (4 years), Pittsburgh (1 year), London (5 months), and currently in New York City (1 year this summer). I'd love to live in the UK as well.. am waiting for that perfect job to come along that would make it possible.

Mariarosa Apr 26th, 2001 08:02 AM

Hi Dina! Hi everybody! I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Then I went to school in North Carolina, and spent 6 months studying in Paris, which was a lot of fun! The last 6 years I have been living in NYC. One of the many things I love about NYC is how easy it is to get out of the USA.

Eva Apr 26th, 2001 08:19 AM

Toronto, Canada - all my life!

Annie Apr 26th, 2001 08:23 AM

Born and raised in northwest Pennsylvania. Live outside Washington, D.C. Lived for a time in Birmingham, England, and then in Ireland. Would never ever ever want to live in B'ham again. Ireland, on the other hand, would be a wonderful place to return to if they could only do something about the rain!

anne Apr 26th, 2001 08:26 AM

In northern Virgina, near DC. <BR>And almost part-time in France, where I am right now. <BR>Like you, Myriam, I love to travel, but love to come home too.

Beth Apr 26th, 2001 08:41 AM

Hi all! I was born and raised in Nashville, TN. I lived in washington D.C. for 7 years while attending college and grad school and just moved to chicago 2 years ago. My checkbook didn't allow me to travel much until the last year or two, but I certainly plan to make up for it now that I am no longer a student and have a "real job"

ilisa Apr 26th, 2001 08:44 AM

I was born in NYC, lived in Queens for nine years before moving to New Jersey. I came down to Washington, DC for college, stayed, and now live outside of DC in Maryland.

Ron Apr 26th, 2001 08:47 AM

I live in the USA in a suburb north of Chicago. I have visited several European countries while in the Navy and my sub did refits in Scotland. Since the kids are now on their own my wife and I have been starting to take more vacations in Europe.

dan woodlief Apr 26th, 2001 08:56 AM

I was born in a small North Carolina, U.S. town, lived in the state of Wisconsin for over 7 years, then moved back to Durham, North Carolina. I would love to live in another part of the U.S. or abroad for a change, but I can't convince my wife of it yet. Most of our family members live within an hour of here.
