I think I’m not forgetting any… this count doesn’t include places where I stayed in a hotel, even if it was for more than a month, or where I was as part of an exchange (that is, places where the stay was clearly defined as “very temporary”). Adding those yields:
5 locales (not all of them cities) by the age of 8.
If you don’t count college as a place I lived, no new locales through age 20.
4 in adulthood thus far.
