I was born in the USA, and I wouldn't change anything about that. Every country has something unique and different about it and I would love to visit and see other countries, but I will always be proud of the one I was born in.

I was born in Guam, and wouldn't change that for anything! I love learning about other cultures, though, and would love to travel the world sometime.

Am African, and a proud one at that. I know Africa has its ups and downs, and some people may think that it's downs supersedes its ups. Well I love a good challenge, and the challenges I get from Africa is really something that strengthens me.

I'm American, and happy with the continent I was born on. I wouldn't want to live elsewhere long term. But I would love to have the opportunity to travel and see other countries someday.

In many ways, I'm glad to have been born in North America, specifically Canada. I do think parts of Europe would have been fantastic to grow up in, culturally speaking. But the truth is, it's probably "the grass is always greener on the other side". Canada is a pretty great place to live overall :D

Yeah, you're right, if one isn't satisfied from within they can't be satisfied by the without.

I was born in North America, but I would have preferred to be born in Central or South America. I love Latin culture, speak fluent Spanish and got a chance to live in Mexico for a while. I loved it!
