A few years ago, why did you move from Denmark to the HQ in Chicago? Could you have just stayed in Denmark?

Because I like living in the US better than living in Denmark.

I've recently moved to Spain for part of the year because I like 65F and Sunny better than the Chicago Winter.

Neither moves had anything to do with work per se. (Except that I'm a better worker when I live where I want to live)

I can't agree with this enough.

The lack of structural violence is also a huge win, being able to hack at 24+ hour stretches without being told that they are locking up now, or obligations to go for a Wed, Thurs, Friday beer etc. can also be conducive to high levels of productivity.
