I read that most people spend their whole lives living within 50 miles of where they were born, is that true for you. It is true for me, I have always lived in Southern California.

For the first 18 years of my life, i lived in the same state at least, though not with in 50 miles of where i was born, as i was born on the far western side of nebraska, then grew up and spent most of my life on the eastern side and in central nebraska, and it is quite a large state. But i have broken that mold in another way as well. When i was 18 i picked up and moved 2500 miles away form my family in nebraska to maine, where i have now lived for over 10 years.

So far I still live where I was born. I would like to move out of florida one day though... I don't like the heat and I would love to get all the seasons...but this is my home. I think it will be hard to leave when and if i do... my parents are from here too. so i think its pretty true for most people as well.

Hello, I was born in the state of Idaho. I do not live there anymore. I go back to visit maybe once a year if I have to but I prefer not having to. I live in Silverdale, west of Seattle across the Puget sound so I live around 400 miles away from where I was born.

I was born in Colorado. Raised mainly in Arizona and now am in Virginia. And in the past 9 years (shudders) of living here I have moved around the state about 8 times. All my friends call me a gypsy because I move around so much.
