Locate People By Address
I am part of a missionary family, and traveling has been part of our lives since I was a baby. My mom tells stories of her having to carry me from one depressed area to the next. She says that she trained me to hold my breath and to give an unsatisfactory look if I smelled something stinky along the way. However, as I grew up, mom and dad went to other depressed areas and little by little I lost my snotty attitude but didn’t lose my enthusiasm to travel.
When I was four, we moved to a small island in the Pacific, one so small that in two hours time you would have already seen all the major sites. We lived on this island paradise for such a long time and when I was eighteen, it was time to hit college and I landed on another island, the Philippines. Now don’t forget that the Philippines is made up of more than 1,000 islands and locating people by their address can still be tricky.
After graduating from college I found a job on a different island of Bohol; and to make the story short, in three years time I moved addresses three times too. It was always a challenge to be newly employed and to fill out all the work requirements. The hardest question was always about my permanent address. As I said earlier, I’m part of a missionary family and we never had a house of our own. We were always living in the parsonage or renting here and there.
To find a person by their address can sometimes prove to be difficult. Friends have written me online asking where my newest address is and there has been a lot of air mail that has never reached my door step. Globalization is indeed making the world smaller, but it can never really solve the surest and fastest way to locate people by their address.
The address that you’d be sure to contact me is my email address. Physical addresses don’t work with my lifestyle, but one that is online and accessible any time is my email address. There may be some people out there that do not want to be found. But you know that you can locate them through their email address or searching for them on social networks such as Facebook or Multiply.
Can I have your address? I’d reply, “Which one?” – and if you’re lucky, I’ll give my email address.
