I have been inspired by various bloggers to spend some time thinking about the past year and review all the things that happened, what went well, what could be improved, and what I want to change in the future. I've already jotted down my goals for 2011, but this is for another post.

2010 was my first full calender year as a freelancer, and even if I've always had more than enough work, the year started with some cash-flow issues. After a reputable company put me in a lot of trouble by paying my work for a medium-sized project 6 months late, I definitely learned my lesson.

It's been nine months since I moved to San Diego to work for Achieve Internet under the "Optional Practical Training" allowed by my student visa, and my work authorization expires tomorrow.

I'm taking this occasion to move back to Europe for the summer. I'll be working remotely, which gives me the freedom to travel around. June and July will be spent mostly in Germany, with Heidelberg (where my girlfriend is finishing her degree) as my base camp. August and September are a little more vague at the moment, but I'll definitely be in Hungary for DrupalCon.
