Me, I've been like that. Not exactly the same as you, but throughout my 20's I didn't manage to maintain a residence for more than a year, I was bouncing back and forth between places. I was always looking for a place to settle. I wasn't traveling, in my opinion, I was moving from one place to another because I couldn't live in the previous place for one reason or another. I wanted to live in Sweden. When I got to live there, ...well, let's just say that the novelty of a new country wears off. I've lived in the US, Canada, Sweden and Finland and I just recently concluded almost a year in Algeria. I set a major record in Finland, living there for nearly 10 years and 9½ of them in the same apartment. I got an itch to leave, though, after 5 years. Now I'm essentially homeless . Well, I'm at my mother's for a bit, until I get my act together. I can't decide wear to settle, but I'm thinking either Canada or Sweden. It's hard to choose when you have so many countries to choose from.
