Very close.

I would say, "Estoy allí/aquí. ¿Dónde estás?"

"I'm there" sounds kind of wrong in English...I think "I'm here" sounds a little better. So, if you decide to stay with 'there', use allí. If you change it to 'here", aquí.

Good question. I hope I helped grin

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say:

Do you mean:

1 ''I am here Where are you?''

= ''Estoy aquí. ¿Dónde estás?''

or ...

2 I am here where you are (ie: in the same place where you are) ?

= Estoy aquí en el mismo lugar que estás The verb 'estar' is always used for/to indicate location in Spanish.

On the other hand, are you referring not to a physical location but saying that you empathize with what the person is going through, and like QFreed says you are ''On the same page'' ?

I hope this helps grin

If you are trying to speak figuratively or poetically, be careful. Even though it's not exactly the same, I think you should read this previous post: Yo soy de donde

The point being, if I am physically there with you, I would use estoy, but if, in the context of this previous post, yo soy (I become whatever/I am where ever you want me to be)

A little more context would be helpful. Are you referring to a physical location or are you trying to say that your are at the same level as the other person or in the same situation? ... On the same page.

i mean like when you are tring to tell someone your love for him/her, my heart will go where you goes, or sth. like that. it's more like emotion level. - taralovespau, Jul 1, 2011
Context always helps. I think that you should have explained that in your original question. - 0074b507, Jul 1, 2011

Estoy aquí contigo. = I am here with you.

Mi corazón seguirá el tuyo adondequiera que vaya. = My heart will follow yours wherever it goes.

Any corrections would be great grin

I hope it helps smile
