I’m from Alberta, the Texas of Canada.
Greetings from England! (^_^)v
Thanks, Ali!
I’m from Canada!
I know you are, since you’re my sister.
Originally from the US but now in Canada. Does that count as a 2 for one?
I’m going for country of origin 🙂
Another twofer: Originally from the US, now living in Britain.
I wonder how many international ones we have?
Originally from Germany but now in France
And another who’s moved from country to country. Got a few! 🙂
Well there were a few more countries in between
Now that’s why I’m only counting home country 🙂 It would get confusing if I counted all the countries someone lived in.
Howdy from New Albany, Indiana…USA
Thanks for commenting! How’s Indiana?

I’m from Portugal, read a comment of yours about stats on some blog, got into yours, decided to follow your posts, and it’s up to you to figure it out where my country is… 😀
Thanks! And no need to figure out where Portugal is. I already know. I’m a big geography geek 🙂
I was joking about it. I also like to know that Florida is not near Alaska! 😀
So, where in Portugal? I have a friend whose parents are from Portugal.
Up in the North, the very best part of it :D, Braga
Looks like there’s some great architecture there.
indeed there is!

Born in Toronto, never left Canada. Unless you count living for 15 years in the province of Quebec. 😉
Well, they do have the National Assembly of Quebec.
Oh, they’re tryin’. I lived there when they had the referendum that won for keeping Quebec part of Canada 51% to 49%. So glad I voted!
Wasn’t it more like 50.1 to 49.9? 🙂
Sounds familiar.

WHat a great idea reaching out… I love it… I’m originate lay from England, but live in Spain now….
Thank you! I’ve heard there are a lot of British people who have moved to Spain.
Lots of British, Dutch and Scandinavian… We have a great international community here, I love it… The weather too…
Must be nice. No need for much Spanish?
Yes very much, Spanish is a big part of the community… Barbara
Oh, I see. So, I guess you can speak Spanish?
Arizona, US of A. Peace to all and to all, g’day.
Thanks for the comment! Hope it isn’t too hot there.
It’s been screaming hot out here in the Arizona and we haven’t had much in the way of monsoon. It’s more like none-soon. However, there’s nothing wrong with our Planet’s climate. Sure sure…
We’ve actually been cooler than before here. Was incredibly hot and humid up until the middle of last week. Now just cloudy, humid, and not very hot, but still hot.
Ontario, Canada..
🙂
I love to read encyclopedias too.
🙂
Got that love of geography from my grandparents and parents.
Thanks! Great to hear that. And nice to meet another person who loves knowledge and geography 🙂

Hi, I am from Norway, currently live i Denmark. Have also lived at Svalbard, Spain and USA.
Thanks for the comment! You’re the first Norwegian. How was living in Svalbard? That’s pretty remote.
Svalbard was awesome! Absolutely loved it, and would like to go back, not just for a visit – but for a couple of years 🙂
Must be interesting living somewhere so isolated. How was winter there?
Winter was lovely. Cold, dark, cozy. Used to go for a ride on skidoos or car just outside of town and look at the northern lights 🙂
Although I’m from Canada, I’m not looking forward to enduring Canadian winters again. But I will have the northern lights, too.

…still calls Australia home
Hello! Thanks for the comment.
from AUSTRIA, but born in ROMANIA
Well, that’s difficult 🙂 Which would you say is your home country? I mean the one you identify with.
Hm… Jay, you got me there, because that is the big question of my life. Where do I belong?
What’s coming next won’t make it easier. I do not identify, I’m a stray.
I spent equal time in Romania and in Austria. Take both. Cause that’s what I do.
Well, I’ll have to do that, then.
From India 🙂 hellooo !
Hello! You’re the second from India! Thanks for the comment 🙂

I want to do this project too, but in the meantime, you can help out this blogger!
I am from India. But reading you now from Nigeria, Africa.
We are a web magazine for children and teens and your blod appears interesting. It would be nice to share and/or collaborate on some articles sometime if that interests you as well.
Congratulations for the nice work here !
Thank you. Glad to have you visit and comment. I hope things are going well for you in Nigeria. And of course, children and teens are very important for our future. As a parent and teacher, I feel we need to do everything we can to ensure they have a bright future.
