Was born in Winnipeg Canada, then lived in Germany near Lahr, then lived in Ottawa Canada, then Philadelphia US and then Ottawa Canada again -- where I settled when I was 20, except for 3 years in Toronto Canada. I have had the opportunity to travel a fair amount and but have to say a thank you to my parents for dropping the kids in Ottawa where we have stayed. As the capital of Canada the city regularly appears on best places to live lists. It is a beautiful city of about 1M with a lot of green space, bike paths and leisure activities easily available in and around the city. The population is highly educated and diverse as well as largely bilingual English and French. It is warm to hot in the Summer and cold in the winter and beautiful in all 4 seasons. You should visit. And not that this will influence everyone but there are a lot of craft breweries in town.

I have spent my 22 years in Rajasthan, India.
I am born and brought up in Jaipur (The Pink City of India), and from from tip to toe I am in love with my city, its vivid culture and colors. You cant miss the festivals here because everytime its like someone is painting the city with beautiful colors.

When I start working at the age of 22 I have been to Pune, Bangalore but from last 5 years Gurgaon, Haryana is my home.
Alternatively, if I get a chance live in the city I wanted, it would be Jaipur as I will be with my family and relatives.

Lifelong resident of Sydney, Australia. Love travelling to other parts of the world and experiencing different countries, cultures and cuisines, but my heart is in Sydney. Glimpsing spectacular views of the world's largest natural harbour on approach to Sydney Int'l Airport never hurts either! 😉 (not my pic)

My scale is much smaller than most of the previous answers here.
I've lived in Belgium all my life.
I grew up in a small vilage near the border with the Netherlands. A quiet place, only one famous person, "wow-guy" aka Eddy Wally:
Untitled ImageWhen I started working, I moved about 100km further, closer to Brussels and Leuven. Also to a quiet place 😁 but we do have a long lane with sakuras in the village center.
image.pngI wouldn't want to move to any other country, I'm too attached to my family and friends here. But I do love to travel and visit all those beautiful places around the world, just for a little while 😀

I am from Denmark and have lived in Denmark all my life. I have lived in Denmark all my life, but have lived in several places in the country. Denmark is a small country, with very varied seasons and great nature.
If I were to move to another country, it would have to be the United States, Australia or Spain

Good morning from a sunny Sweden, and what a WONDERFUL thread!
I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden but took a job as a tour guide when I was 18. That enabled me to live and see a lot of wonderful places for around 8 months in each stop.
So I've lived in Mallorca (twice), Cyprus, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Barbados and Mexico.
These days I'm back in Sweden but reside in the southern part in a town called Lund, where I'm trying to enjoy life and raise a family :)

This month's Badge question is right up my alley! Although born in Canberra, Australia I grew up in Ottawa, Canada (and recognize at least 3 pictures showing the Rideau Canal longrwr 😀). After graduating I moved to Osaka, Japan for my first job but found myself back in Canada 3 years later, Toronto this time which I still miss to this day. But the gypsy in me could not sit still for long so I moved to Marseille, France where I stayed 5 years. After my chapter in the Provence I settled near Utrecht in the Netherlands where I live in a small town along the Rhine river with my wife, two boys and a dog named Nuka.

I have always lived in the southern part of Germany. I grew up near Lake Chiemsee. During my studies I lived in Passau (and for a short time in Birmingham/UK). And for more than 20 years now, our family has lived in a small village east of Munich.

I've lived along the East Coast of the USA, throughout the Midatlantic to New England: I grew up in Massachusetts, lived for the longest stretch (so far) in New Jersey, and currently live in Maryland (with a few more states thrown into the mix for short periods along the way).

I grew up in the Washington, DC area and while I lived in Philadelphia, PA and New York City for school, I've always returned to the "DMV". I love the incredible diversity of this area, which gives us some very special cultural institutions, and being in this area, there is never a dull moment!

I am only 21 and I have lived in 5 countries already: Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and the US.
Turkey is where I am from. The former USSR countries are where I lived in for a majority of my childhood because of my father's work. US is where I went to university and will be soon working in.
I just left New York after graduation and will be moving to Boston for employment. Yet, I am excited to see that the world is going more and more remote/hybrid every year. This will allow me to return to my nomadic lifestyle at some point in the future :)

I have lived in Mauritius for half of my life, and could not envisage going back but to spend time with the family and chill. I have lived in the UK where I studied and work but found the best work/life balance being in Switzerland (current).

I have lived in Medellin, Colombia all my life. At the moment, I have not plans to live in another place, but I want to travel a lot and maybe some place I'm going to meet will make me want to stay for a while ✈️

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/46930#Comment_46930Call me biased, but I can highly recommend it!! 😁 Quick tip for you when making plans re: where to go, what to see and what to do... Just keep in mind that Australia's land mass is comparable to that of the contiguous United States and that if Texas was a state or territory in Australia, it would only be our 6th largest. Plenty of amazing things to see and do, but you need to factor in travel distance and be realistic about what you can do in the time available. Hope you get a chance to make it down here!
https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/46938#Comment_46938Great to hear that you had the opportunity to visit Sydney and enjoyed your time here. A ferry trip on the harbour is a fantastic way to see the sights!

yard2 (1).pngBorn and bred on Long Island (New York) and have spent the last 20 or so years up the coast in Connecticut. I love seeing the leaves change and having deer romp in my yard!

I have lived in outer Melbourne, Australia all my life and - despite having travelled to many wonderful countries - I couldn't see myself anywhere else! Although it would be nice during the winter to have a warmer home in Queensland or a holiday escape to New Zealand...

I lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota going to travel school. Otherwise lived my whole life in Wisconsin, majority of my life spent in Green Bay where I currently live. Go Packers! I would like to live somewhere warm in the states since winters are getting longer and I would prefer spending more time outside in some nicer, warmer weather in the winter months. Not a fan of shoveling or driving in winter weather.
