whats the longest period of time you have spent living/traveling outside of your own country?

at this point i am going on 1.5 years but i am sure, compared to a lot of you, that is not that much.

Longest I have been away is just 2 months. That was in Greenland, though, so it felt like a year and a half! Very Happy

Five years - when hitchhiking around the world it's not easy to come home for a weekend from South America, Asia, etc. But then... the whole world is our home, too.

Nevertheless - it's good to be finally home Very Happy

The longest I've been away from home for is the seven months I spent in Russia from January to August 2003.

5 years in total, but I went home every winter to go skiing - so not sure it it counts.

Paul, what did you do in Greenland?

I've been away from my home town for 3 1/2 years. For just over 3 years of that I lived in the UK but went to Berlin for a visit once or twice a year. For the last 5 months I travelled round the world.

Depends on how you define home.... I've been in Boston for a decade, but Vermont is "home"... I've spent four months in Europe at one time, ten months in Canada, three months crossing the USA to the west coast.

I agree with Peter. I generally think of home as the place where I grew up, the place my parents still live - Gloucester, MA. But, its been almost 8 years since I lived there. 5 years in Chicago, 6 months in the Netherlands, 2 years in Hawaii, and now I'm in Seattle. I don't where home is?!
