I’m living in Portugal, my home country, since 2015, after 30 years in Belgium…

Yes
I've been here 36 years. So, what? What's the point of this poll?
What remarkable conclusions are you going to come to?

Like others, I have actually spent more of my life living outside my home country, the UK. In Spain and a few years in Germany. Catalonia in the future? Who knows?

After studying German and French, I ended up in... Spain, although German is my main source language now.

I live on the internet, but I was born before it. So, no?
I do think the results of this poll are interesting - 35% migratory birds? That's certainly way above the figure for non-translators.

I almost certainly would not have become a translator if I had remained in Scotland.

I was in fact born in India to English parents, and I have now lived more than half my life in Denmark.
But now I go back to the UK several times a year and stay for two or three weeks, so I reckon I keep in touch.

I spent a year living in France, but ended up moving back to the UK as my experience of the French healthcare system left a lot to be desired when compared to the NHS.

After 10 years in Italy and now 13 and some here in Canada (+ a few years here and there), I've spent half my life away from where I was born. Try to squeeze in at least 3-4 weeks in Norway each year, and about the same in Italy, to keep my loyalties intact (and my language from slipping).

I moved to Canada from Germany when I was 5 years old. I attended kindergarten a few months later knowing how to count to 10 in English, and knew the word "finger", which happens to be the same in German, though pronounced a bit differently. There was a strangely named hero on television called Soup Man (Suppemann) which is how I heard "Superman" with my still-German ears.

I have lived in the country where I was born for a long time. But I am happy to move to another one once I get bored of the place
