Where were you born?

If you were born or raised abroad... what was your reason for moving and what country do you feel most at home in?


I am Canadian born however raised in Scotland, as I moved there when I was a baby, lived there during my childhood. I feel most at home in Scotland, however so many great opportunities in Canada, that is why my parents moved back to Canada again to start a new life. Home however will always be where my family and my heart is, my Dad and Step Mom, brother and sister and daughter are here...

what is your story ????

    Quite a bit. Was once a liaison with Her Majesty's Forces so spent a bit of time in the UK. One of my favourite places on earth is Scotland (my ancestors came from there...)

    Born in Ohio. Grew up mostly in the Chicago suburbs. Currently living in northern Kentucky. Will move from here when my daughter goes away to college. Likely to the mountains or a lake area.
