I get asked this a lot.
The truthful answer is: Everywhere and nowhere.
I’ve solidly embraced nomadism since finishing college in December 2004. Outside of a 2-year stay in Asheville, NC in 2012-13 (and even then I traveled often), I’ve haven’t lived in one place for more than 5 continuous months.
I keep a Google Spreadsheet to remember when and where I’ve lived different places.
