If you are, then you are among thousands of people from around the world with links to South West Wales who log on to this site every week.
And we would like to shake hands with every one of you.
Through our new feature, Planet Swansea, we want to reach out to all of you with connections to this area who log on to this site from abroad.
Many have already got in touch so a big thankyou goes out to all of them.
Our figures show that people have logged on to this site from almost 200 different countries around the world in the past year.
Outside of the UK, the majority log on from the United States, Australia and Canada.
But we also get hits from countries as diverse as Sierra Leone, Haiti, Nicaragua, the Congo, and Greenland.
Every week we will be reaching out to a different country and inviting people to get in touch.
We are asking you to tell us more about you, including who you are, where you are, what you do, and why you use this site.
You can even send photographs of yourself or where you live to paul.turner@swwmedia.co.uk.
If you still have family or friends in this part of the world, you can send messages to them and invite them to get in touch.
Or if you want to give a shout out to someone somewhere else in the world you can do that too.
And don't forget, we also want to hear from people living in other parts of the UK.
People who have got in touch in past weeks include a man freezing in Alaska and even a crew chief on an airship!
You can read about them by clicking on the link next to this article, and see the comments from others by scrolling to the end of this story.
You can also comment on local issues. Next to this article we have created discussion forums on the spate of deaths in the Marina and Tawe areas of Swansea, along with the proposed £1billion re-development of the city.
Another link next to this story is for people who live in one of the many communities named Swansea around the world.
Here, you can tell us all about your Swansea, including what is making the news headlines over there and what makes your community special. You can also send us pictures of your community and yourself to the email address mentioned earlier.
So, please don't be shy - say hi and join us on Planet Swansea.
