"Country of Origin" is ambiguous. Does it mean where you were born,
where you live, or where you are travelling from?
(I get that confusion when some asks where I am from. What does that
mean? Where were you born, they ask. We moved cross-country two weeks
later, and back two years after that. Where's your hometown? What's
that? I've never lived in the same city for more than 8 years, and
that's where I am now.)

I am in the Travel industry and we have found that people completing
an online form has problems understanding when a field means "their
country of origin" or the "country they want to travel too."
We have the country field under the "personal details" section, but
some people still tend to complete it with their country of
destination.
Does anybody here have a suggestion on how to solve this? Should we
change the wording for country to something like "Home Country", Your
Country" or Country of Origin" or is there another way?
