No worries, not too nosy! I'm American. (Which was probably kind of evident from this post's blithe tone of assumption that I'll always be free to travel wherever I like... Ugh, I do try not to be *that* American.)

Anyway, yes, from the US, but I've lived a bunch of different places, including Thailand, Germany (for a long time) and the UK (right now, for a short time).
