I'm sorry to pry, I'm just curious- Why would you choose opportunities on the other side of the world over being with your family?


Sure :)

Because they are good opportunities.

Because I have lived here over the years (before I met my gf and got my son) and have large parts of my friends here.

Because my gf have a job she really loves and didn't want to move with me right away (but maybe later)

Because sometimes you have to think strategic about your families future. (of course with the danger of destroying the very family you are trying to create)

What can I say. Life's complicated :)
