Where is everyone from? Are you nomads or townies? :)

Born, raised, educated and began career in 4 of the New England state. I moved to California at the turn of the century. As the youngest of a large clan, I'm the only one who left the small town where some of my siblings are neighbors and others are 10 to 20 minutes away (except for my oldest sister who move west for a bit and settled in New England but 3 hours away). My nieces and nephews were taught by people I grew up with and are buying/building in the same or adjacent towns as they marry and start families. It blows my mind that despite education, success and opportunity, they made such choices and it continues through generations, but then again, I asked to be sent away to boarding school at age 7 or 8 and readily accepted nuns and uniforms at my all girls high school as a cost to get out at age 13. I'm the only never married, no kids, vegetarian, globe trotter of the bunch - 1st to get a passport of the 7 (the elder 4 are boomers ('58 - '64), btw). I honestly half believe I was quickly reincarnated from someone who died in SF in the late 60s or in 1970. I definitely have always had a different perspective and curiosity about the world from the rest. Over the years, as some sibs have visited CA (with & w/o families in tow) they say they get why I came/stayed in the west but are too deep in to make any such move being so established back home. Meanwhile, wherever I go (living or slow, long-term traveling, I tend to cultivate a small town community vibe despite my need to escape the nascent one.
