As a child, I was born and grew up at my maternal grandparents home until I was 4 years old. We moved to another province on another island. I lived in 2 rental houses for roughly 6 years (3 years each), then moved into my parents' own house when I am about 10 years old then.
I moved out to study abroad when I was 15 years old and was never home for any longer than a year ever since then... I lived with 2 homestay families during my 2.5 years in Australia, 2 dorms and a shared flat during the first 5 years I was in Liverpool, and moved into a flat with hubby when we got married and stayed there for roughly 5 years, before we moved to Beijing.
Here, I've lived in 2 rental apartment for the first 3 years here and we finally settled in our own apartment that we are living in now in 2015.

Phew... that's a lot of countries to move in and out. To summarise:
4 homes as a child.
5 temporary homes as a single adult.
4 homes with hubby.

Thanks for asking these questions, Wendy. I never really thought about it until now, it got me walked down the memory lane a bit
