Has Lived Her Entire Life In The Same House On Barker Street In Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire. Remarkably, She Was Born In The Very Home She Still Lives In Today

I understand that end of it , but the world is a vast place, why settle on seeing/living in one small corner? I have lived in 14 states and summered in Halifax and BC. Countless weekend/week-long trips and cruises to other places.

just because she lived in same house all her life doesn't mean she never travelled

The percentage leans to her being a hermit,Agoraphobia or a loner.

I've live in the same city all my life, and only in 2 places with my parents growing up, and have been in the same home for the last 27yrs since being married.

Yet my job has taken me to most corners of the world, and those that I have not visited, was more of a conscious choice than lack of opportunity. And when I say it has taken me to many places, it is not for a day or two. Typically a trip was 3 to 4 months at a time.

So just because you live in the same place your whole life does not mean you have not gone elsewhere.

I have a buddy of mine (which I used to work with) and was in the same home his whole life (until recently when he retired and bought a retirement place out west). He has over a million Aeroplan miles to prove that he has travelled to many corners of the world.

So you never really know. I could not even imagine having to pack up my stuff an move right now.
