I’m about 12,950 Kilometers from my spawn point, according to Google Earth. That place is not “home” since I barely have any memories of it, and left the country during primary school.

    Around 20km from the town I was born in. Never lived there though, so it’s not really my home but definitely part of my home region. I do currently live in the village and house I grew up in, which I would consider as home.

    I work 20ish miles from the hospital I was born in. I live probably 5 minutes from it driving. I have probably lived half my life here. I call it home but I live in a world that my younger self would never recognize. I was ultra poor growing up and now I mingle with the town elite and have one of the historic houses that is iconic for lots of people here.

    I lived 20+ years 300 miles away from my hometown and thought I would never live here again. But life is funny like that.

    6.5 km from my appartment to the hospital I was born in.

    I was born in the neighboring city, currently live in the district that is closest to said city. However I grew up in a village 90km from here. My parents moved out of the city when I was 2. I lived in several different cities, even on a different continent for a while. A couple of years ago I moved here for a job and 5 years ago my now-husband and I found this appartment together which happens to be on the border of our city that is closest to the city I was born in.

    I live 2.2 miles/3,5 km from my childhood home but have lived as far away as 4,383 miles/7.053 km away. Yes, I would consider my hometown as my current home.

    Just checked on the map. There’s a stretch of about 11 miles that I consider to be home. I lived most of my life smack in the middle of that stretch .So about 5 and a half miles radius?

    I don’t feel like doing the math googling it, but I was born Brooklyn, NY, USA. Currently a few miles outside Atlanta, GA, but my journey here takes me up and down the east coast, plus a place further south. I can’t really think of NY as home because I’ve only lived there maybe 1.5 years at most, and 1 of those was as an infant.

    At 1 my family moved to GA, at 2 they moved to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (fathers home country), where my first memories are from. At 7 my mom left said father over his repeated cheating, so we moved back to Brooklyn for ~6 months (maybe less) then moved to Virginia until I hit 17 when I graduated highschool. Moved to Florida, lived there for years until 2017 and I moved to GA for a job.

    I’m not sure I consider anywhere other than where I am now “home.” I have fond memories of each place, but they just feel like phases of my past life, like elementary(well, 4 different elementary), middle, or highschool. I don’t consider any of those schools any more of a school I went to than the others, and I generally treat “home” the same. It’s just where I live now.

    I also don’t fully identify with any ethnic group either. I spoke without an accent in the island so never fully integrated, and then in the US I didn’t quite have the same lived experience there either.

      I was dismayed to find that the hospital I was born in has been torn down and replaced with a newer one. I’m only 44!
