Re: Where are you from?
I agree with btwn2c.
"Home" is where the heart is, where loved ones are.
I've moved around a lot and have happy memories for a number of places. Still, I wouldn't necessarily feel compelled to go back unless a part of my heart was still called there.
When I"m asked where I'm from I usually give the most recent move. Depending on the intent of the question, that often suffices.
Of course, then there's those longer conversation about "where are you from?" that are really about something more than geography.
