Since I have been small I have often talked about going to London (before I started School even) and also Ireland and Scottland. These Day's I think it would be Awesome to go to Australia too. But, I am a HOOSIER :thumbsup: , and cannot imagine living anywhere else in the U.S. at this time, much less another Country! But, would love to travel to ANY and ALL listed above, or Anywhere else, for that matter. ~~ Jill

Forgot to play nice
For some strange reason, I belong in Seattle.
I've had a yearning to go "home" for a number of years, but when circumstances required me to move back to the place where I grew up, it wasn't "home".
When I visited some friends of mine who had relocated to Seattle in April of last year, I came home.
Which is why I'm going to sell my house, quit my job, pack up the cat and move to the Pacific Northwest.

although I was born in Portugal I have always felt English. I came "Home" as soon as I could. Also although I have travelled quite a lot I have never felt I belonged anywhere but here...
Its not just the country but also the culture and the people. This is the only place where I can relate to the people and the mentality.

Where do we belong?
Well, having lived in 4 countries, I would have to think about that.
Sometimes I feel like a "citizen of the world", rather than one from a determined place!!. I am a mixture of 4 different nationalities, apart from having 2 Official nationalities (I mean, two countries that reconigze me as their citizen, Australia, where I live, is one and the most important for me).
But I have a strange fascination with everything Irish, even though I haven't been to Ireland. Irish music gets to me, and I can even cry, without even knowing why!!.
Cheers,

Were do I belong?
In my travels I loved the picturesque Scottish Highlands, the green rolling hills of England and the rocky Welsh mountains. Too, I loved the dazzle of Paris, the majestic snow-capped German, Swiss, Austrian and Italian Alps, the dry plains of Spain. The pleasant warm memories of distant South Pacific island shores,sunsets and people after years are still very clear. The excitement of the remote frontier of the South American cordillera and jungles will forever remain. But without any shadow of a doubt it has to be the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. The place has not appreciably changed over the centuries, nay but for some small instances of urbanisation. There is a timeless quality to it, the great silence of a wild mountain valley, the sound of gentle winds, the aroma of cedar, pine, fir and hemlock and yes, the roar of the sea. There I was born in this life and to there my ashes will return. Perhaps I was born there before and perhaps if I am to be born again, I hope it is to there I shall be drawn. :thumbsup:

What a great thread.
I do feel a connection to Ireland. For the longest time I've wanted to visit there.
The other place I feel a strong connection to is Savannah, GA. Just this past October I accompanied my hubbie on a business trip. His company has an office in Jesup, GA (which is about an hour away from Savannah). We came into Savannah's airport.. As we started driving towards downtown Savannah and the trees (covered in Spanish moss) came into view, I got an immediate chill. These were the trees I had seen in previous PL dreams. We got to spend some time in Savannah and it surely felt like 'home'. It felt like some place I went to and had a good time in. When we were in Jesup, I felt the same thing. That this was home. Have never, in this life, being to either place, I didn't feel lost. I could drive, walk, whatever, and I knew exactly where I was. I also felt the presence of someone there. He's appeared to me in dreams before but I felt his presence there. After our week stay, as we got to the airport and waited to leave, I felt horribly sad. I didn't want to go home because this was 'home'. I started crying. As the plane took off and I looked out the window I was still crying, bad. Like sobbing because I was leaving.
We're going back there in March to celebrate my birthday and St Patrick's Day..I am so excited to be going back!
So the two places I feel connected to are Ireland and Savannah. Sorry for the rambling..hehe

Past life in England
The one past life I feel sure of was in England, some 450 years ago. I've never felt drawn to England, though. I even avoided visiting it, while doing a lot of traveling in the rest of Europe.
In my second novel, one of the main "bad guys" are the British intelligence agency, MI-6. If it's published, I'll probably have to stay away from England...
Oh, well...

I too have a strong feeling about the south. While mediating one day, i said, "I need to get back to Georgia" and "I need to go home". Im not sure how im connected, but i feel an urging to go. I love the houses and the landscapes there. Its really beautiful.

Mmmm...I love, love, LOVE Britain. Most of Europe, in fact, but not as much as Britain.
I've always been enthralled by Japan, too.

I read an interesting article the other day.
The country (state, region) where you're attacted to,
where you work, where you spend the most important years of your life,
is the place where's ulsolved karma waiting for us.
This is also the case if you get involved with people from a certain country,
because of your work or family ties.
I think that most of my negative karma is linked with England and London,
although I also had some good times there.
But I never had the urge to go or to live there.
In my previous life I was born in Germany,
and most of the memories are pretty pleasant.
So I don't see what kind of "German karma" I could solve.
But somehow there's always something German going on around me.
Especially the last few years.
Most of all at my job, but also in my circle of friends.
All of these connections are positive connections.
Which makes me sometimes sigh: I wanna go home!
Although I don't think that makes any sense

I'm not exactly certain of where, but I can give an era, and that would most likely be turn of the 20th century. I have an *extreme* pull to victorian, art nuveau, edwardian, art deco, craftsman/arts & crafts objects, houses, pre-raphaelite paintings, as well as the genre that Alphonse Mucha painted. I am having *very serious* aching cravings to return to having "communities" where there are neighborhood schools, neighborhood groceries, neighborhood drug stores, neighborhood parks, neighborhood hardware stores, neighborhood dress shops, etc. milk men, diaper service, neighbors that know one another and look-out for one another - - neighborhoods where you can walk everywhere or hop a street car and go where you need to go. A time where there were independent store owners and restauranteers. A time when you could go out for dinner and dancing. A time before "commercialism." The period where there were "true craftsmen" that created things that would not only withstand time, but also be very, very beautiful at the same time. When you could be an apprentice with maybe no more than an 8th grade education, but that wasn't frowned upon because you *knew* your trade extremely well and word-of-mouth meant everything! A time when you weren't hired just because you had a bachelor's, but didn't necessarily have a clue what the heck your job was and had to be trained by someone that had been doing the job for years without that piece of paper saying they were educated, but after years of service made less money than what that very young B.S. graduate was hired at. (Sorry for poor grammar.)
Just typing all of this out makes me ache/yearn inside something fierce in a way that I cannot fully express.
In area, I'm not sure, but I have an extreme pull to certain houses and especially the "California bungalow" and therefore have considered California, but something tells me "no." There are plenty of those homes right where I live (although many are in disrepair and those neighborhoods are now quite different than during the timeframe I'm "remembering") and therefore I may be right where I'm supposed to be. I've moved away twice, only to return. I live in an outskirt suburb of Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
I have had past-life memories of many other countries/cultures, but I don't necessarily feel the pull to return to those areas.

I would definately say i belonged in England (which is where i live now) but i also feel a connection to france for some reason. Its weird because the first time i ever went to france was on a high school trip, and we had to fill out activity sheets, and answer simple questions in french. (This trip was just a day trip, and at the time i was learning german, not french) I was going through the sheet with one of my teachers, and was answering the questions really well, he said i seemed to have a 'natural talent' for french, and had i ever had any french lessons? the thing is i had never ever had any french lessons in my life, and the only french i did know was the basics like 'hello' and 'goodbye' so maybe in my past life, i lived in France for a while, or i was actually french and then moved over to england. I guess i will have to wait and see if any more memories re-surface, and try and work out who i was exactly.
Hi everyone, :laugh:
Good question, I have always asked myself, and was always fascinated by a green place and an unknown lake, could be in north Europe, but I didn't know where exactly, and never thought about the reincarnation, till a day came and I met a friend who told me about it, and then I've been told it can be north UK, where the Lake District is, and I might lived in late 1300s. However, I went there in last March, I couldn't really gather my thoughts, but I felt something strange deep inside which can't be denied!
It was a mixture of feelings or memories, sad and strange, can’t explain..
I wish I can translate those feelings into words and scenes, but I still have some difficulties in gathering it with those pale memories hidden in my head.
I don’t know if any one of you can really help me to find this out.

While I think I'd enjoy living in both Ireland and Australia, I know I belong right where I am in Ohio. I was born here and have lived within a 10 mile radius for all but 7 years when I moved out of state. Although I liked the people down south, it didn't and doesn't compare with home. Moving back 2 years ago was like being reborn.

If you can get some more details -- you can narrow down the search a bit!

well i am extremely drawn toward Europe, places like Czech,Hungary,Russia.
and i love learning about the halocaust, or any thing that took place in the early 1900's.
i also had a fascination with Egypt and mummification and old France when i was younger. that developed into this new fascination of the halocaust.
and ive always been in love with dead things, like what a morgue worker would do. and cemetaries. i LOVE those places.its really weird to me to because it doesnt seem like i would like any of this stuff if you ever met me.
