Divorces, abuse, neglect, self sabotage -- I've lived in at least 43 "homes" that I can count at the moment from birth until now.

I've done it all from a crack block in Virginia to a penthouse in London. So many people and places. Mad life, truly.

I'm learning that I'm not as fucked up as I think I am though. It's taken time and a beautiful woman. Some dancing and drugs, too.

Goddamn, 43?? That's interesting to think about.

I've lived in 9 places my entire life, including my current home. 10 if weekends and summers spent at my mom's after my parents split count.

Yea, no joke. And I'm probably forgetting a few. It's been a blessing and a curse for sure.

Thought of writing a book about it all focusing on the neighborhoods, the roommates, the something. Or maybe me.

Still haven't leapt that far yet. There's something interesting to share about the experience though.

I look forward to settling somewhere and calling it home and feeling 100% content. Love is where home is? Yea, kinda.

I'm sometimes envious of people who can feel that way about the country where they're born.

Well, sort of. Not really.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN yeah, fair enough mate. I took a quick look at manchester (rentals & sales) this arvo out of curiosity and fuck me, yeah- pretty damn expensive. though the places i checked out all looked awesome. also, are there any houses over there? it's like blocks and blocks of conjoined units/apartments or....castles. not much in between!

Did you just go on Rightmove and look at the most expensive properties or something? There's shitloads of normal sized houses. British cities love their Victorian terraced sprawl. I could get something pretty grotty in a crap area for �150k, but the next home I buy will be my third step on the property ladder and I'm pretty much done with roughing it in bad areas at this stage of my life.

You shouldn't regret anything. Life is short and is mainly about experiences. It's the only thing you'll remember on your deathbed.

That's my attitude at least. I have moved around quite a bit, both in Sweden, Australia and partly in Brazil. One thing is certain. If you can combine security, a relationship and a job you think is ok, you should be satisfied with what you have achieved. Your kids will thank you at the end of the day (hopefully).

Just my 2 cents.

I lived in Rio for six months in 2015.

Oh, friendly people and chaotic city, I hope you liked your stay.

I sure did. Easily one of my favorite cities. Great food and friendly people like you mentioned.

Got me thinking of how many times I've moved since birth, I think it's been 26 places I can count. 17 of those where while I was on TA

The latest was wild. We packed or donated our entire 3,500 sq ft house in one day, flew overseas. Our realtor worked on the house for 6 weeks before listing, but it helped as we got 75k over asking unexpectedly. It was kind of stressful only talking over items late in the day/evening here, especially e-signatures that had deadlines.
