Help with term ふるさと

Im not sure if my post fits here but anways,I need to make a speech script of some sort that includes daily life and self introduction, and ive been googling and reading my available JP textbook but i still dont understand. I found out it means hometown so im unsure how to use it, cause instead of ふるさと, i just can say “im from etc” by using　からきました (?). Sorry if this question sounds so stupid.
