When I was growing up, I never felt that I belonged anywhere because we never lived in a house for more than three months. That's all I knew, and that's why I don't really belong anywhere.
I'm a bit of a gypsy. I live everywhere; I live out of a bag.
I miss my friends in London, and I really miss New York. But I also miss the stability of staying in one place and being able to just open a drawer if you've run out of sticky tape and chuck a new roll in the holder.
I had a gypsy upbringing, so I moved around all over the place and can't remember a street I grew up on.
I spent my thirties living out of boxes and moving every six months to a year. It was my cloud period: I just wandered like a cloud for ten years, following the food supply. I was a hunter, gatherer, an academic migrant.
My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.
We moved around a ton when I was a kid. I think we lived in 9 different houses before I was 15 - we moved from the city back to the suburbs; different suburbs, different houses, all over the place.
It's an obstacle being a girl when you move all over and don't have half the things you need. It's like everything is wrinkled in your life.
My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school.
I've lived out of a suitcase for four years.
We moved 23 times before I was out of high school!
Oh, my family lived in 21 places before I was 17.
I had moved around my whole life. That was the one thing that was always so hard.
My name is Carter Kane. I'm fourteen and my home is a suitcase.
My life is spent in hotels, which tend to be quite disappointing if you're in them every night.
I've been so transient, I've been on my own since I was 16. I didn't even have my own place until I was 32 years old. I literally lived out of bags for 16-plus years.
