I lived in Oregon the first 20 years of my life. Then I spent 4 years bouncing around the globe where ever the US Navy sent me. They sent me a lot of places. 17 countries in the first 18 months or so. I then spent about 20 years living on the Oregon coast. Nice place, really love it in the spring and summer. It's where I'm from and part of who I am. But the winters are damp, gray and cold. I'm living and Mexico now and have no plans of leaving anytime soon. Last fall facing a nearly 1K fine for a problem with my FM3 Visa paperwork incorrect I decided I'd pay the fine rather then leave. Luckily I didn't have to pay the fine, but I would have. Guess this is where I'm from now and it too is a part of me.
