Where in the world are we coming from?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been really happy to see all the people signing up and saying hi, and I was wondering about the country demographics of visitors to the forum. I suspect a majority are from the USA, but where else are people from? I’m from Sydney, Australia and it is crazy hot right now.

(Please don’t keep silent if you are from the USA - I’d like to get a good picture and you are an important part!)

Also if you feel that speaking about your location could put you at any risk please don’t feel pressure to say anything.

EDIT: Totals thus far

USA = 41
AUS = 7
UK = 11
Mexico = 1
NZ = 2
Canada = 7
Norway = 1
Indonesia =1
Sweden = 3
Germany = 3
Portugal = 1
Chile = 1
Colombia = 1
Finland = 1
Ireland = 1
France = 1
Iceland = 1
Italy = 1

(I’m sorry if it takes a while to tack your posts/countries, I’m using “likes” to keep track and so I’m limited by how much I can do in a day)

Stay safe and well folks!

Californian, native to the good part, currently living in a bad part, will soon be moving to a slightly-less-bad-but-still-bad part. Insert your own interpretations of which places I’m referring to as you so desire.

Oh wait, it’s hot here all the time. Everywhere.

People from the humid lands don’t get to say that when we’re regularly on actual fire. :<

I’ve seen footage of Californian fires and they are just as scary as any I’ve seen in Aus. I’m glad we have a culture of sharing volunteer emergency fire-fighters with the USA!

I am in Washington state on the west coast of the USA, on the very very rainy side instead of the very dry wheat-filed side!

Gold Coast, Australia over here. I’m told we’ve got nice beaches, but I stay away from them on account of the sun and sand and dreadful fear of strangers asking me questions

I’ve been a resident of Seattle, WA for about 18 months, though I’m originally from northern Ohio (mostly Toledo, partially Cleveland). Moved west because my fiancee is from Portland (about 3 hours drive south) and she wanted to live closer to her family.
