I've never lived anywhere longer than 5 years. Being the perpetual new girl has its pros and cons.

Chloe Gordon Cordover has never lived in a place longer than five years. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, she has lived in 10 cities across seven states. Her father's job required frequent relocations, and she continued to move after college. Now 30, her longest stay in any location was five years. Her wide, rather than deep, roots have given her a unique perspective and the ability to easily relate to people from different backgrounds.

While she doesn't know anyone who has known her since before she was herself, she believes that the life she's lived has made her more interesting and gives her an education in the nuances of different places. Despite never knowing a permanent hometown, she considers her frequent moves a positive aspect of her life, as it has shaped her into who she is today.
