Catnip Posted April 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2004 When someone on a cruise (or anywhere, for that matter) asks you, "Where are you from"?, what do you tell them? Do you tell them really where you are FROM (ie: where you were born & raised?) Or do you tell them where you are currently living? .......just curious........

glgolfer Posted April 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2004 We always say where we're from now first, then where we're from originally. Surprising how many folks are from close to one of those areas.

Lynnees Posted April 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, I start with where I live now I mean.. Then I have this bad habit of saying where I lived previously, then where I was born. Bad habit I guess.........just that it's different countries.

jstducky Posted April 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2004 i always say where i'm originally from. for example, my cc profile lists that i am from yorba linda, ca (right next to anaheim)... but i don't live there currently. i live in west hollywood now, approximately 60 miles north... but i always feel like where i am originally from is my home... thats why i am trying to figure out how to keep my job and move back "home" but somehow i dont think thats possible jstducky! ----------------- ...til 9/04 - Jewel of the Seas - Canada / New England ==================================== ...til 7/04 - Zuiderdam - Western Caribbean ===================================== 7/03 - Zaandam - Alaska 4/03 - Norweigan Star - Hawaii 7/96 - Noordam - Alaska 7/96 - Golden Princess - Alaska 8/95 - Jubilee - Mexican Riviera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catnip Posted April 13, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Thanks for your replies! I was always curious about that question. I tend to say, "I am from Florida, but I am currently living in NC". "To live on the land...we must learn from the sea" (26 prior cruises. Nobody cares, so why list them all?)

wmunley Posted April 13, 2004 #24 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I was on an excursion once and this gentleman with a not-so-deep southern accent sat next to me and asked me how I liked the trip.
