Lets see...

Attoor, South India - Birth to ~ 8 years old
Abqaiq, East Coast of Saudi Arabia - 8 to 15
Nicosia, Cyprus - Only 6 months...
Lausanne, Switzerland - Only 6 months...
Cyprus and Switzerland were completely temporary.
Ft. Lauderdale, SE USA - 16 to 18
Gainesville, SE USA - 19 to present (I'm now 23).

Planning to go to Alaska next, should be interesting. I really have to desire to stay in one place for the moment, this next move is going to be the hardest for me as I have a gf I am really close with.

Only reason I traveled was because of my mom's job in Saudi... they wanted us foriegners out of the country so they stopped english education after 9th grade and they paid for us to go to different schools abroad.

I lived overseas longer than I have in the states

Kinshasha, Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo)- 1.5 years
Warsaw, Poland - 2 Years
Bonn, Germany - 2 Years
Seoul, South Korea - 3 Years
Yangon, Burma (Myanmar) - 2 Years
Bogota, Colombia - 1 Year

I'm in the US now, I'm 20 by the way and the list of places I've lived in the states is ridiculous.

No my mom was a pharmacist in Saudi... I did indeed plan most of the trips because they were all centered around education, if I got into the schools I applied to, that's where I went. I stayed in boarding school in cyprus, switzerland, and my whole time in Ft. Lauderdale and finally got an apt. in Gainesville. My mom just retired 3 years ago and she's back home in India. I'm applying to Universities in Alaska for Grad school. If I get in, off I go :)

Damn.. that was really hard, LOL.... took a lot of memory digging.

Do you see a trend? ;) lol.. Rhododendron, Brightwood and ZigZag are all small towns right around Welches, which is the 2nd biggest town between Portland and Mt. Hood. We always went in a cycle... Live in the city.. get tired of that, move to the mountains. Get tired of that, move back to the city... heh.

A couple of those, we moved to different houses in the same town/city..

We moved a lot.. heh.
