Moving House.

How often do you move house or from one apartment to another and why.? I think its always a good idea to move every 5 or so years so you have a reason to throw out all that junk that's accumulated over the years, but it seems some people move every few months . Better deals, better views, pissed off with your neighbors or is it just a matter of having itchy feet and not being able to settle down.
For me it's 16 years in the same place and probably too lazy to move now.

What's your record.?

As an adult I have only twice lived in a place more than three years: where I live now (3 months shy of three years but I see nothing to suggest I will be moving in the next 9 months) and back in 2013 to 2017 when I managed 3 years and 8 months.

Other than that my average was 6 months. Very draining.

Edited add a mention of why - that’s probably too much disclosure for me on a forum.

Usually stay one or two years in each country, how many different places within depends on many factors but my record is probably around 3 years in the same accomodation.

Generally I feel that after two years you know a place quite well. Well enough to leave and come back 10 years later and still feel somewhat at home.

I enjoy creating these "alternative homes" for myself and look forward to start revisiting them as I grow a bit older and want something more comfortable and "known".

I move every time I get kicked out and it’s always a good move
Always an upgrade. , had a sweet nice place 2 years during covid - so scheeap.
Moved when the rent went up , or whenever my contract is up and they don’t renew my ass
Now I just got a super sweet deal where I am now and making friends with the boss and might buy this place .
I been lugging the same suitcase

full of socks and blue jeans around with me for 11 years now
I’m a hoarder and got so much crap I couldn’t dream of parting with
When ever I die someday someone will have all my junk !

I lived in the same room for 5 years at the same hotel in sihanoukville ,
Surprising ain’t it ?
When I went fora vacation in thailand for almost a month I asked a worker to turn the air conditioner on and off once in awhile. , but reception just said to leave it on , so I did , sorry about that Mother Earth !

Seven years in my current home. The landlord is decent, the rent fair, the apartment nice, and the location good. No plan to move, unless the landlord suddenly becomes unreasonable when it's time to renew the lease!

Shortest-
I signed for a new apartment just before COVID. I was due to move in on my next trip home when borders and airlines shut down. SWMBO and the kids had the joy of moving in, and had moved out again before I ever got to sleep in the place- it turned out to be unliveable, which was a shame as it was a sizeable corner apartment 2 blocks from riverside.

No matter how hard I try, I seem to be something of a nomad.

I lived in Sihanouk until my landlord broke my lease with 7 months remaining. I moved to Kampot... landlord's wife was mad I have 1 year lease and she watch rents go up..I hated Kampot and my landlord's games behind my back. I gave him an out...Give me back my deposit and I go after 11 months..
He so happy he bought the water heater I had bought.
He did not know I would of given it to him..
I took my $800usd and moved to SR..
I move every year when my lease is up.
I have had 4 apartments and 1 house in SR.
My apartment now is the best deal and best place I have ever had in Cambodia...prices went down here a lot...I was just on Koh Rong...they want me to move there....I like my pool, generator and quiet building.
I suspect I find reason to move again in December when my lease is up...

Those were the worst time of my life and why I hate the chinese so much ,
even I know it was the cambros who sold out

I was lucky to find a nice hotel outside of town to hang my suitcase

I stayed there until I couldn’t hack the weirdos of kampot any more and downgaded to kampong thom
where I dove off my balcony and almost ended it , but found out the hard way ….
