We moved a lot when I as growing up. NoCal, SoCal, Michigan, Texas, Michigan, Germany, Michigan, Ohio, Netherlands, Texas, elsewhere in Texas, Switzerland, Texas, New Jersey, my parents then left me in NJ and moved to Ohio and ended up in the Seattle area. I got stuck in NJ because I started working and it was security. My parents told me that they really had hoped that i would relocate to Washington state but that has not happened . . . yet

I was born on the corner of Mir Avenue and Absamat Masaliev Street in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. My mom couldn't hold her water long enough to get to the Embassy, so I was born in the cab on my way there.

My Kyrgyz and Russian are terrible, which is why I never applied for citizenship.

First move I did not care too much about since I was so young and we moved out in the woods (had to clear land for our yard) on a lake so it was pretty much heaven for a small boy with a big imagination. Lots of fishing, dirt bikes, etc.

2nd move (Still in NE OK) sucked royally for me because a lot happened to my family and ended up going from the playground that was the woods and lake around me to a low income apartment in town 30 minutes away (also had to give up my dog in the process).

Other moves were all after I was 17 so those were pretty "normal"

I have to say my least favorite place to live was Fairbanks. But I was doing a project with the U of AK and was living on $16/hr in Fairbanks, a place I had never been. So I didnt see the best of that for the month or so I was there! Lived in a pretty bad building for that month, often listening to the woman and man across the hall scream at each other over who did the last line lol. Not exactly the vacation type of trip I would like to take to AK!

General Hospital of a small town in the Muskokas (Ontario). We moved south before I turned 2 and I lived there for 19 years. Since then I’ve lived in (I think) 6 different cities...one of them more than once

So looks like Vadsters grandparents lived on the other side of town from us back in the day. This is the street our house was on. I tried to find it on street view, but being so young I mainly just remember we had a huge rock on the corner, but that may have been removed. I think we were close to where that pointer is!
