Where are you from?

[AG31]

For a long time I've been struck by how many people I see here are from outside the U.S. (Perhaps Lit. began outside?) I'm wondering if it's really the case that we have a really broad range of countries represented, or whether I just gravitate to people outside the U.S.

Can you tell us what country you're from? Or, at least, whether you're from the U.S., English speaker outside the U.S., non-English speaking?

 

[Stimtheone]

I'm from Eastern Europe, despite my great english accent. But I assume a lot of people here are from the US.

Also New Zealand!

You can often tell, or get a pretty good guess in, depending on how people write their stories, and their vocabulary. It's quite fun to try and figure out.

Interesting. I’m from Texas and I’m half Welsh, too. My dad’s entire family comes from Carmarthen.

From? Michigan originally. But currently living in Minnesota.

 

[NotWise]

Nebraska-born. Know the place fairly well, but I never lived there.

 

[KeithD]

All over the world. I'm an Army and Intel agency brat--raised all over the world. From the very beginning. My parents were living in one state but I was born in a different state--they'd crossed state lines to go to a movie.

I'm originally from Long Island, NY but moved to Florida when I was twelve. And yes, I do have one of the most screwed-up accents you've ever heard.

What's more interesting is where I'm going, how I plan to get there and how much it's going to cost.

I know that feeling. I moved my family to southern Idaho, practically without a plan, six years ago. What a crazy journey it's been.
