I translated a dialogue. Does it sound natural?
- Mila, how long have you been living in Spain?
- I've been living here for 2 years I guess. I came here with my husband when he was offered a job in Barcelona. We've lived in 4 different cities since then.
- And which city so you like best?
- I really like Toledo and that's why we settled here.
- So your husband is working and what about you? Have you worked since you moved to Spain?
- I'm a graphic designer and I can work from home. So actually, I never stopped working.
- Do you miss your motherland?
- I've been travelling since I was a child so I consider the whole world my homeland.

That already reads very naturally. It's quite rare for people so say "motherland" in casual conversation though. I would suggest changing that to homeland (as you did in the following line). Other than that, I'd think this was written by a native speaker.
