We moved around a bit growing up, but not at much as some here, tho I still remember not really putting down "roots" any one place and finding it really hard to make friends. There were times when I found friends or someone I really clicked with and BAM it was time to move again.

From the time I started school and from the time I graduated HS, we moved nine times to seven different cities. I left home and am my third place and second city, but have lived in the same town for nearly ten years now, so pretty sure there are roots holding me here now!!

I think it has more to do with personality then location. I was/am a bit of an introvert and shy. I have to force myself to come out of my hobbit hole and interact with the world... DO things... which has been my Achilles Heel and reason I'm overweight and out of shape.

Too "easy" to give in to my inner hobbit and just stay in my comfort zone. Something I'm always fighting and will likely always battle, but the bike is helping a lot, that I'm happy about!
