So you’re a Maryland expat—and not a medical doctor expat.
Yep. But it is a bit more complicated than that. I was born in Rockland Co NY, but my family who had moved more times than I can count before that – NJ, NY, PA, back to NJ then back to PA and then back to NY where I was born, moved to Harrisburg PA when I was around 2 years old, and we moved around quite lot in PA (Camp Hill, Elizabethtown) until we moved to Frederick MD when I was in the 4th grade and then the following year to Baltimore MD, first to Catonsville then to the Brookland area of Baltimore City where I lived until I finished HS. And I lived in and around Baltimore until moving to PA in 2010.
So when people ask me “where are you from” I say Baltimore, MD just because that’s where I lived most of my life and spent most of my most formative years. So yes, I’m a Balti-moron ; )
