Moving back to Spain January 4th 2010, ricardo
This Christmas, visiting the family was a bit harder and made me think why we were still in London. I've been in UK for about 7 years already. The experience has been invaluable. Learning the language, meeting a lot of people, work opportunities and a long etcetera. I'm extremely happy I decided to have a part of my life here.

Some months ago, before leaving Hi-ReS!, I had to think what the plan was going to be afterwards. At that point, seemed logical to think that staying in London in case I had to meet someone in town for a freelance job was a good idea. But London was starting to get claustrophobic so we though about moving to a town "close" to London (ie. Bath). At the same time I was getting offers to move to United States which were very tempting, but somehow UK was still winning for being closer to Spain.

Now that I was already freelancing I found myself that there was no real need to stay in London. All the projects I worked on where done from home. That home could be anywhere, so why not moving back to Barcelona instead of to Bath?

We have a lot of stuff in London, so moving is going to be a slow process. Hopefully in April/May we'll be done. There are many people I'll be missing but I have the feeling I'll be visiting quite often :)

Seems like 2010 is going to be a benchmark for us :)

I moved from the Netherlands back to Portugal, and it was an adventure. Good luck with that. :)

Good luck with the move, I think you're making the right decision.

My goodness! You'll have to let us know when your 'Goodbye England' party is. I'll be there. (assuming I'm invited ;-))

Es la pregunta del millon, si trabajamos para gente de todo el mundo, para que estamos en London... Te echaremos de menos por aqui, a ver si nos vemos antes de irte.

Thanks for all the good wishes guys! :_)

Yeah, we'll definitely set a day for a little party on a random pub. Another thing for the to-do list ;)
