    Where weyou born? Did you travel when you were young?

    I was born in College Park, GA. On the southwest side of Atlanta, this city has the highest crime rates in the state of GA. I never traveled when I was young. I had only been outside the 285 loop in Atlanta once before I was 21. First plane I ever got on was a private jet and I was 28. Just curious of where everyone was born and if they often left their hometown/states.

    Where were you born?

    Did you travel when you were young? Or even now as an adult do you travel?

    Edit: as an adult I now try to travel as much as possible, been to Ireland, Netherlands, Costa Rica (currently working for citizenship in CR), Brazil, Germany, Australia, Israel, and plan to go to many more.

As for travelling, I've been in Finland, Norway & Denmark when I was younger. And now when older I've been to spain & Gran Canaria, in addition.

    I was born in Kennesaw, GA, and raised in Marietta for some time. My family traveled often until my father was big in the music industry around 1991 (in which we moved to southern California and our core family values disappeared). They took us along the coast all the way to Toronto, California, and Vancouver, as well as Vegas. Outside of North America, we went as far as Guilin once and Hong Kong twice. Since I spend most of my time in Wan Chai, the experience of the walled city was something I oddly cherish.

    As an adult, I travel often throughout China and sometimes to Thailand, Taiwan, the RoK, and Japan. Business trips don't feel close to leisurely trips, though.

    Was born in w. philidelphia. Grew up there mostly, spent most of my childhood just hanging around and playing with the other kids, but this one time I got into a fight with a couple of local kids, proper rough sorts and stuff. It wasn't a big deal or anything, but i mentioned it to my mother and she proper freaked out. She was like "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air"

    Born in Denmark, close to Copenhagen (Jægersborg). Moved to Norway when I was 1. Travel some.. Lots of back and forth to Denmark for family, and to Greece, Spain and France in the summers. Traveled a lot more after I got old enough to do it with friends.

    Born in Melbourne, live 2 streets away from my childhood home.

    We really didn't travel much as a family, my parents bought a pool and spa for the family when I was about 5 years old, so we typically spent most of our summer holidays by the pool.

    I started travelling a fair bit once I turned 19-20. I was over in NZ last week for a wedding and spent my 30th last years travelling through the US. I'm not sure what I'll do next though.
