I love sharing about it. I only learned about it after getting married when I was 21. Just this week I was meeting a bunch of new people and they kept asking where I was from, knowing I was american by my accent. So I’d say ‘I’ve got an American Accent, but I was born in Oxford and grew up in Europe until 17 I just lived in the states as an adult pretty much’. To which they take a beat and then ask ‘okay but where in the us are you from’. I’m not! :)

I HATE BEING ASKED WHERE I AM FROM! I want to say France ( where I spent the bulk of my childhood) or the UK as I am a Brit but like you I have an American accent so it never flies well. Sigh.

(have no idea what Germknodel is, but I already want to try it!)

But yes, I def. do miss places! Plus all the little aspects of places. Its been years since I’ve been to Austria and I crave this food item, Germknodel so much its not fair. :( hehe.

I am so jealous you’ve been able to pick up so many languages. I worked beside a man who spoke Dutch when I first got to England and I fell in love with that language. I need to stick to one language and get fluent. :)

I moved 4 times in my life, Kazakhstan -> Russia -> Kazakhstan -> Israel -> Holland. Since I spent many years in every place, I speak Russian (mother tongue), Hebrew, Dutch and English. I also used to speak German, but Dutch took over:)

When I was a freshman in Uni I used to say ‘no where’ when people would ask where I was from, without realizing it sounded a bit negative. A friend brought it to my attention and since then I do like to say ‘Everywhere!’ I like how no everywhere you go a little bit of that place sticks with you. Thank you for commenting Casey, I look forward to keeping up with your blog too.

Sometimes I just want to say “I’m a child of the whole world” and leave it at that :)
