   Eventually when you get older, yes. When it is time to put down some roots you will know it is time.

   I was very restless to when young but now I am a homebody

   Have you gone to a doctor for help?
   My other half had the same pattern, and trying to change it was scary at first, but with help and support he was able to realize that he was running from conversations he was having in his head about himself, about feeling unworthy. By reaching out for support he was able to identify these conversations, and start changing his thinking pattern so that the life he wanted was the life he was committed to creating, no matter what it took. It takes a lot but it is well worth it. You can have any kind of stablility you want to create, if you're willing to create it. Best of luck to you, check into personal growth workshops, ask your doctor, ask friends, get support, and you will see that you can acheive anything.

   You're living the life I want.

   You're nomadic, nothing is wrong with that. If I were you I'll choose a job that allows me to travel amd I will not put down roots until I'm good and ready.

   Bon Voyage!..

   I understand that. A lot of us who move around a lot feel that way. I also seem to have a tolerance of about a year in any one place before I get really bored and restless but it's hard too because you're always leaving friends behind, or friends are always leaving when you're only halfway through your time in a certain place. There is a positive side to settling down and it's the stability.
   Maybe try to talk to people who have lived a life similar to yours: people who were expat kids and got moved around a lot or those who chose careers where they have to move every few years. Cos I find that people who have lived their whole lives in the same place sometimes just don't get it.
   I don't know if you'll ever settle down – I guess it depends on you. I have friends who say they never will, ever. I think some day I will, but I just have to find that place that keeps me interested in the long term. I think when you've seen so much, and are used to constant change that your best bet is to find a big city, with a ethnic and social mix and lifestyle that's going to keep you interested and try to build up a stable group of friends, maybe who aren't just expats or temporary residents, people who you can build a more permanant life around. I think too that a lot of it comes from feeling that you don't really come from, or fit in, in any one place, so a big city is good because a lot of people won't have grown up there so it's easier to "belong" cos everyone moved there from somewhere else.
   I'm 24 and I know that one day I'd like to really live somewhere and have a stable life and not have to make new friends every year. Most of my closest friendships now via skype as my friends are all over the world, and I love them so much, but I'd like to also have some stability. Moving all the time is so interesting and gives you an amazing perspective on life that I am so glad I have… but it's hard too.
   I'm re-locating to London in January… maybe it'll be the place! Hope you find somewhere too, or that you decide you're happier if you keep moving – if you are, then no reason to stop.
