These are some great suggestions. My main motivations for leaving the US are to be closer with my family and because I miss the European lifestyle. I live in NYC and life here is very hectic, with little breaks and a very transitory vibes. A lot of my friends move constantly and I find ut hard having a steady base of friends.

I agree on the going in cold part. It’s probably a good idea to spend a longer vacation with work remote (which I can do) before doing the final move. That might enable me to re-engage with a lot of my friends and professional contacts.

Where are you moving back from and what were your motivations to move back?

Brexit added to my motivation - over my time there I felt the change in the atmosphere from welcoming to not so much.
