UGAalum, I think that would fall into a reasonable question for just the reason you stated. If I met a girl who had lived in 5 states and 6 countries, I'd probably be asking why too.

One of the hardest things to get used to living in Dubai is the first question you ALWAYS get asked is where are you from, and the second is what does your husband do. It seems sooooo anti-feminist, but the fact is 99% of the women I meet are here because of their husbands' jobs. Different context makes it not offensive.
