That&#x27;s really interesting; I wonder why that&#x27;s the case.  My girlfriend and I are split on this particular issue.  I have no problem moving around to wherever the best job offers are (even if they&#x27;re in a different country), whereas she wants to stay in the town she grew up in — or at least within a few hours drive of it.<p>The difference may come down to how we grew up; my father traveled quite a bit when we were younger, so I lived in France from ages 3-6.  I thought those few years added to my life experience and gave me a unique cultural perspective.  My girlfriend never moved growing up though, and she believes that moving hurts the friendships that young children develop.  To be honest, I&#x27;m not sure who&#x27;s right.  I was always kind of introverted, so I didn&#x27;t have particularly strong attachments, but she is very outgoing and extroverted and still keeps in touch with friends from elementary school.
