"Where I'm from" is such a nebulous concept for me, ever since grade school when people asked that, but really meant "what country are you a citizen of". Since I was a US citizen but had never been to the US, at least one person in the conversation quickly became confused.
These days, I'll admit to being "from" California, or Mountain View in particular; since most people who live here were born somewhere else, the question is closer to "where are you living now" in the usual context.
