Born and bred in Massachusetts (suburb of Boston).  Lived and worked in Cambridge, MA. Took a one year academic (library) post at University of Leeds.  Back to Binghamton, NY and then the fateful step of returning to Leeds (back when it was easy and practically free to get a spouse visa) for just over 20 years.  Family obligations made it necessary to return to Boston but now back in Leeds just over 3 years.

Born in Northern California (Woodland, near Davis for those familiar with the area), grew up in Hawaii (Wahiawa, Oahu), then back to California where I moved several times within the state.  I've lived in Maryland (just outside DC), and Illinois (just north of Chicago), but most of my adult life has been in the San Francisco Bay Area.... until the last couple of years anyway.  ;D
Here 2 years as of Oct. 1, 2016.

I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. I moved to Houston when I turned 19 to marry my boyfriend. We divorced and I fell in love with my UK pen pal (we wrote each other weekly for seven years before we met) and moved to Reading to marry him. We lived in Wokingham then Westhoughton, near Bolton. We returned to El Paso for a year, moved to Chicago for two weeks then moved to Austin for two years, then to Atlanta for one year and we are back in Houston and have been for eight years. We will be returning to England indefinitely in 2019, possibly to somewhere in the southwest.

From northern Kentucky (suburb of Cincinnati), as an adult have lived variously in southwest Virginia, Lexington, Kentucky, Madison, Wisconsin, and Luxembourg and now we're in Newcastle! Starting to think about heading back to the States, which is both exciting and sad.

Reading all the responses, I'm pretty boring  :)
Born and raised in northern Ohio which I still consider "home." Lots of cornfields and wide open spaces. Only moved away once from my small town when I went off to college, which was just over an hour away. Now in the Midlands with my English husband. As someone who has always been a homebody and not *too* much into traveling, I'm probably the least likely person you would think to move abroad   :P
4/2015 Married
7/2015 Spousal visa granted
8/2015 Moved to England
10/2020 ILR granted

Karlee, I am right there with you! Kansas, USA born and bred (read: corn and wheat fields), I didn't travel the world 'til I met my British husband. We are in the Lake District in Cumbria, and have clocked up travel miles visiting many countries since. Married in 2010 and happily settled.  :)
Life in the UK; from marriage and the big move in 2010 to becoming a citizen in 2014.

we must carry it with us or we find it not"

Great topic !

I'm originally from northwestern Pennsylvania (Franklin), but lived the past many years in California before recently moving here to Edinburgh, Scotland.

Would love to hear from any others living in Edinburgh...seems like a great place.
