| None in the last 10 years | Apr 2, 2012 |
I lived in Mexico City for 2 years, but my husband hated it, so we moved back to the US. That was a long time ago, and he is no longer living. In 1994 (18 years ago), I moved from Washington, DC, where I wasn't too happy even though I spent most of my life there, to California, which some people consider a separate country. I love it here and would never move again.

3 in the last ten years (US-France-Belgium), but around 20 times in the last 38 years I must confess I like it!

I agree with B D Finch, I should have not specified the time limit in my questions. My only intention was to be fair to younger translators. For obvious reason, older translators have been able to experience more changes in their longer lifetimes.

See more I agree with B D Finch, I should have not specified the time limit in my questions. My only intention was to be fair to younger translators. For obvious reason, older translators have been able to experience more changes in their longer lifetimes.
The inspiration for this poll came from the piece I have been working on for the past few weeks. The article focuses on moving my translation business from England to Indonesia, two countries so different from each other. It will be published in the May-June issue of the ITI Bulletin. Those who are not members of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting and would like to read my article (which is packed with tips for translators who, like myself, are considering/planning to move their businesses abroad), please join my FB page at Slobodzian Language Solutions where the copy of the article will be available in mid-May.
Thank you so much for such a thought-provoking discussion.

Moldova - Cyprus - Moldova - Holland. Guess I will hang in here for a while

Italy - UK - Australia
I am enjoying living 'down under' but I often feel that I am too far away (mainly family and friends).
And I am looking forward to going back to England where I will probably settle down.

I've been living in Mexico for the last 2 years and I'm quite enjoying it, though I might go back to Europe someday...

I moved to the States from Italy 4 years ago. Before that I moved from Denmark, where I was born, to Italy. I have no intention of changing country again, unless it would be back to DK.

I have lived in Mexico practically all my life, except for a year during my childhood in the US, from where my earliest memories are. I love my country, I am very happy here, my whole life is here, so I have no reason to leave my country.

| 5 times, 4 countries | Apr 2, 2012 |
Spain-France-Spain-Belgium-Greece
Both the prons and cons are so heavy!

Norway (briefly for a job)-Italy-Canada
But my poor daughters have had to withstand a couple of moves back and forth between Norway and Italy before moving to Canada, and now the oldest is back in Europe to do University.
