Top answer
The Key West is a nice place to travel to and I won't run into people from where I live. This is called a 'fused relative construction', where the underlined expression is not a clause, but a noun phrase. "Where" is the equivalent of "the place where", where "place" would be the noun antecedent and "where" the relative word.

- "Where" is the equivalent of "the place where", where "place" would be the noun antecedent and "where" the relative word.
- The idea is that 'fused' "where" is simultaneously the head noun and relative word combined (fused) into the single word "where".
