How far from your birthplace do you now live?

[DuckyMcDuck]

Chatting at work today and it came to light that of the 5 of us, 3 still live in the same town as they were born in.

I moved a lot as a child and (having used a distance calculator) have worked out I live 445miles from where I was born.

This is the one I used if you're interested in working your's out. www.distancecalculator.net/

About 15 miles. I lived in a deprived area (wasn't as bad when I was really young) didn't want to raise ds there, surprisingly 15 miles away and it's like a different world where I live now

About a 100 miles - interestingly none of my siblings or my DH's live in the towns we were raised in - and none of us ended up living near each other . My own parents actually moved to be near us - but even they moved away from the 'home town' when they retired to enjoy retirement in a new environment for many years before moving near to me (in their 80s) - I personally like to move around - can't imagine being in the same place all my life.

Great thread.Google maps says 60 miles exactly by road. It's weird it's such a dull place, but I sort of miss living there. I moved out of the burbs of London for a cheaper family home. Feels a lot further than 60 miles really.

200 miles as the crow flies

20 niles, but it might as well be a thousand!

2 miles from where I was born.

And I work on the same ward (often in the same room) where I was born.

I live in the village where I lived as a kid (I have moved away but came back).

137 miles

311 miles

3,800 miles.

To be honest I feel like there us too much to see in the world to live in a 10 mile radius of my hometown!

About 500 yards

2 miles from the hospital where I was born and about 3.5 miles from my family home.

10 miles. I was born in East London, now live SE.

7,700 miles

3998 miles, give or take a couple

Over 150km now, soon to be a couple thousand when we move state

Depressingly about 5 miles. I grew up wanting to leave. I do like to point out when people ask that I have lived all over including abroad. I came back for financial reasons to save and could not afford to buy in London at the time.

Nearly 10000 miles

11,821 miles! Not sure how much further I could get if I tried.

I've traced my family tree back 400 years and virtually all of them lived in the same area.

I bucked the trend and now live 250 miles away!

I've lived in a few countries but have ended up 9302 miles from where I was born. I clearly couldn't have got much further away from NI, and I like it like that. No regrets, its much nicer here.

25 miles - same county
DH about 1 mile.

4406.98 miles. Born in Kenya as my parents were ex pats there at the time. Live in Yorkshire (where they are both from!).

10079 miles or 16220 km

One mile.

On the outskirts of an amazing city I have moved, but connot escape the lure of the place I love.
