Where are we all from? Seems we have an eclectic mix here.
Firstly I'm English/British etc...
My hometown is Aldershot which is situated in the county of Hampshire in the south of England. I basically live slap bang in the middle between London and Portsmouth.
Home of the British Army and the best football team in the English Football League (okay, they're crap but they are my crap), Aldershot is the only place I will ever care to call home. ;D

I'm Portuguese and I live in Almada, a city next to the capital, Lisbon. It's quite a big city if you put it in portuguese terms (Portugal is quite small in comparison to most countries). We have a football team too but sucks very much and it never wins anything so...LOL poor us xD

I'm from the US. I live in Sturgis, Michigan (the state that's shaped like a mitten). Just a little farm town. Not much going on here where I live, but most of Michigan is beautiful.

Well... the place i call my hometown is Colima, a very small city by the mexican pacific. it's beautiful, we have volcanes, 30 minutes to the beach, 20 minutes to the mountains, but really really small, 500,000 people in the whole state. i live there until i was 18 when i moved to Guadalajara (where i currently live) two hours away from Colima. This is a very big city, 7 million people just in the metropolitan area, so yes, it's very different but i love it. i'm not planning to go back to colima any time soon, but i do want to die there  |

I'm Israeli, my hometown is Tel Aviv. (I think I might be Brendan's only Israeli fan!). It's a really big noisy fun city, about an hour away from the capital, Jerusalem. We're right on the Mediterranean coastline and we've got some lovely beaches and lots of sunshine (but also lots of humidity).

I live in Watervliet in upstate NY (USA) near its capital Albany. Very small town, walkable & friendly, but kinda boring. However, it’s adjacent to Vermont & Massachusetts for day trips; abt. 3 hrs to NYC & Boston, 4 hrs to Cape Cod. So there's stuff to do.

I'm English and currently live back in my home town near Manchester after living all over the place.... Glasgow, Scotland for 4 years, Auckland, New Zealand for 2 years and Charleston, South Carolina for 3 years (where I met my American husband before bringing him to England). I think we're staying here for the time being |

North Carolina here. I live in the Raleigh-Durham area, putting me close to both the beach and the mountains. This area is home to more colleges and universities than you can shake a stick at with some of the strongest rivalries in college sports. We have an excellent foodie culture here!

Yeah . . . neither in my case. Grew up in a home split right down the middle, so I went to NC State to shake things up. ;D

I'm from Northwest Oh... It's mostly widely known for Cedar Point Cedar point rocks! I went there some years ago and was blown away by the rides. There's a Six-Flags (Magic Mountain) near me, which is good, but the rides weren't as long. |

So. California born 'n bred. I'm in the South Bay area which is on the coast and 20 miles from downtown LA. We don't have a Football team but I'm a fan of Baseball anyway so I don't really care.
