How many times have you moved?
Almost 13 years ago I moved from Voorschoten to Leiden.

I have lived in 10 different homes. 
In the Loire Valley, Normandy, Alsace and Paris (4 different addresses in Paris).
I have also lived 2 years in Africa, when I was a child (2 addresses in Gabon).
I have been living in Canada for almost a year.
I already know that I'll move in a few years, in Canada or somewhere else.

These places are so different, It's hard to compare.querty wrote:Which one was the nicest place to live?Olivier wrote:I have lived in 10 different homes.

I liked very much my life in Gabon, when I was a child. We still often speak about this couple years with my family. It was an incredible experience which gave me the wish of living abroad, for my life I think.
I really like the North-american way of life, with the "french touch" you can have in Quebec. It's an interesting country!
Of course, I loved Paris. Living in Paris is just great, and I may go back there one day, I don't know...
If I had to move today, I would love to move to Italy. There is less snow there than in Canada!

I moved only once
I moved only one time, when I was 4 months old I moved from Utrecht to Werkendam, and now, 15 years later, I still live Werkendam
Re: I moved only once
You should have stayed there. Utrecht is near to Zeist and it has to be great to live near someone who has entered that much bills like you did!Fons wrote:I moved only one time, when I was 4 months old I moved from Utrecht to Werkendam, and now, 15 years later, I still live Werkendam
But fortunatly we have HNL in Amersfoort left as a good source of registered bills! 
I have never been there. It can be.micro wrote:How about New Orleans? Doesn't that also have the North-american way of life, with the "french touch"?Olivier wrote:I really like the North-american way of life, with the "french touch" you can have in Quebec.
The huge difference is the Quebecer speak french. The Cajuns (french speaking people of Louisiana) are not many.

I've been in New Orleans. Loved the place. Can't really say if it was because of the 'French touch', though, but it didn't hurt either.Olivier wrote:I have never been there.

One certainly can sense the 'French touch' in that city anyway. Never been to Quebec, but I could imagine the cities are quite different from each other despite both having French background.-

I would LOVE to move a lot more
Born in
Lisboa (Portugal), moved to
Lourenço Marques, now Maputo (Mozambique) when I was only 2 months old, then to
Luanda (Angola), when I was 4, and moved twice there, then returned to Europe, to
Santo Tirso (Portugal), and back to
Lisboa, where I also moved twice, ending here in Campolide, where most of my bills are entered.
I would love to have lived in some of the places I traveled to: Assisi (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Hoi An (Vietnam).
I spent more than 3 days in 14 different countries, from the USA to Vietnam and China, the two mentioned former Portuguese colonies in Africa, and most Western and Central Europe. Add 5 more countries where I spent a day or two and a handfull more whose airports I stepped on. Plus Azores, Macau and Hong Kong, which are part of already mentioned countries.
Is it a lot? Is it a short list? Well, that depends on who's telling it. For me, it is definitely too short. I have friends and a house to stay in Brazil and Greece, and a lot more places I do not know in the countries I've been to. I have acquaintances living in Chile, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, and a lot more countries.
My next big trip will be to Lybia, on occasion of the total solar eclipse, March 29, 2006. It will also be my first time in the desert (and it will be deep desert!) In fact, if anyone is interested, I am planning the trip and would love to take some more Portuguese people, so be in touch!
