Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I’m a Cascadian than an American.

Like a medieval peasant, I’m living now less than a mile from where I was born. The US is too big to feel culturally attached to it, but my city, yeah, I am very “from here”. Like when I was a kid we’d wander around the ghost town of a weekend downtown, and as I grew up the city became populated and revitalized, it grew up with me.
In another country I usually say Florida, and if it’s a Spanish speaking country then people start speaking to me in Spanish.
