Age 5-8 in Panama.

Visted the majority of the surrounding continents during the stays, including the Middle east and northern Africa.
During my school years, I have to honestly say I preferred my overseas stays to living in America. But that's only because the schools here are nightmares. That, and I'm very grateful I went to very mixed schools, which were never more than 30% American. It's much more fun when people just integrate. Kids don't give a shit what the friend believes in or looks like or is from, just whether he/she is their friend. You gain a better understanding of people, more tolerance, and you learn a lot.
The schools were better and not cliquey at all. So I got to be cool. Here in the States, I know I would have been Lord Dorkasauraus. But now that school is done, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else besides America. Too many opportunities, too many freedoms, and it's just a great place to be.
