Excuse the pun, but that sums up the downside quite accurately as well.

i love the experience of european culture. i find it impressive that even though the countries are just side by side (i live in an archipelago, i have no sense of land boundaries), europeans have managed to maintain their individuality ... chapeau!
Wow - I thought I'd lived in quite a few places, but my number pales in comparison to some of you folk.
Here is my list anyway;
England
Brunei
Brazil
Texas, USA
New Zealand
Hmmm, it would look more impressive if I included all the internal/house moves.

I have moved twice till now. I have studied 4 years in Romania and than 3 years in Spain, Madrid. I would like so much to go to India to leave(study) for a couple of months.
That`s all!

Then I moved to Sydney (Australia)
From there to Canberra, where I lived in 5 different suburbs over 20 years
Then to Queensland (4 houses in 9 years)
Then back to London (3 houses, 12 years)
Now in France (one house, 18 months, never moving house again, ever)
Wallerawang, Manildra, Brisbane (2x), Syd (10months), Darwin, Melbourne, Darwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Maitland, Melbourne (4 places), Lithgow....... and within each city and town I would have lived in at least 3 or 4 or even more houses, its what happens when you are in shared accommodation! Dogey landlords, creepy house mates, dirty ppl, just very poor living conditions and I'm less tolerant about that now Ih ave a child.
From that I have been to 9schools in total, and two universities, but unis don't really count! Moving between schools and states has big problems here in Aus as each state teachers things differently and at different times! So I was always at a complete disadvantage due to the moves!
And yes Melbourne is my favourite place to live! Ever come here go to Melb! And yes I love cold climates! LOL!
I moved countless times when living in the UK, but the 'big deal' moves were Czech to the UK, a few months work stint in Africa and my latest is UK to Germany.
That's not counting short moves when travelling etc. Hmmm, rather short list compared to some of you. Watch the space ....

My hometown in Alings氓s and between all my moves I've always returned here.
I've lived in:
Visings枚 (an island in Sweden)
Aix-en-Provence
Dublin
Stockholm
Dublin
Barcelona
Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife
Palma de Mallorca
Sydney (every winter for the last 3 years)
and something tells me I'm not done yet

1.Born in the Philippines,moved to Singapore when I was 5.
2.Moved 7 times within Singapore,from 1980 to 1995.Lived in Jurong,West Coast,Seletar Hills and Simei.
3.Moved to Manila,Philippines in 1995.Moved 13 times...too many places to mention.I'm now currently living in Pasig.Whew!Have lived here for聽 the past 5 years now.
I got so used to moving so much that it makes me antsy keeping still.My husband and kids going nuts,coz now,I move/shuffle the furnitures around my house instead,hahaha!Every week,new style!
My husband and kids think I'm funny when I try to 'invent' my own Filipino words...I speak Singlish in secret...
Anyone like me here?
Moved a lot while living in Sweden also... finally you try not to have too much stuff to move around

life is enjoyable in travelling.

All of the above moves are work related from one job to another.
For example, my mom had schizophrenia.聽 She was always convinced that the places we lived in were "possessed by demons."聽 So we had to move.
By the age of 16, I had moved 49 times.
Try and imagine the impact this would have on the development of an adolescent's psychology.
I never made any friends.聽 There was no point.聽 If we stayed long enough for me to learn a few people's names, it didn't matter because I would have to learn a whole new school all over again.
I'm now 29 years old, and lacking any kind of normal history of growing up, I can't relate to "normal" people at all.聽 This has affected me in fundamental and profound ways.
For example, I have never had a date.聽 Never kissed a girl.聽 Never even touched one.聽 I'm terrified of looking weird in front of girls (because my life has been so weird, and I think they'll notice that I'm not from normal upbringing) and perhaps it's a self-fulfilling prophecy but I have never known a girl that liked me.聽 I'm a 29 year old virgin, I feel suicidal, have almost no hope for the future, and feel like I'm living in a prison of skin that yearns to be hugged or touched.
So,
Long story short I've moved 61 times total in my life.聽 Never felt that I belonged anywhere.聽 If you want to be happy or create a life for yourself, create memories and make friends... STAY PUT.
Wrong move..? Made the same mistake twice..?
Oh well...
聽 聽I moved 10 time in France,3 time Spain and 5 Portugaland new聽 zealand聽 1 time.I wanna move again聽 new zealand.
