I was only 15 when I moved out of home. I moved into a caravan park and worked two jobs to pay the rent. It's funny you know 'cause at the time I didn't see how big a deal it was to be fending for myself at such an early age. But now I can see I had to grow up quicker than most and envy those that stayed under their parents roof for longer, although this was not an option for me at the time.

I moved when I was 18, from home into a college residence. I made lots of friends in my time there and then two of them moved with me to a basement 3 bedroom with french doors and a downstairs kitchen. After staying there for two years I moved into an upstairs apartment in a big old building with a kitchen balcony, that I pretty much have the run of. In a couple days I will move again and carry the boxes into a modern renovated bachelor with a trendy loft bed.
