You're a moving society indeed!
I moved three times in my life. All in the same city though. I'm planning to live abroad for a few months after I finish my thesis. But where that will be...I haven't decided yet.-
One year I moved six or seven times ... right after high school. It wore me out and my brother told me to settle down. Ha!

I was born and raised in Melbourne
Left for Israel the day after my wedding. Lived there 2.5 years
Lived in the UK (London and Herts) for 2 years. London is the BEST
