    Well I am from London and whilst I actually did a lot of work for USA companies whilst working as an expat I was not based in the USA and don't want to be. However one of my ideas is to to attempt to find direct work with USA companies via a sales agent and through a website whilst basing myself here, which I can then support with regular trips to the US. I do have a number of contacts over there which could help.

    I'm a long way from that point yet though, as I don't have a website for the services I want to offer plus there is a good market for them in the UK anyway. I also don't want to be contracting long term, I just see this as a way to earn money whilst I setup my own business and find direct clients. I reckon I need a year to build up enough end clients that I can then drop out the contracting aspect all together, like most everyone else I need to work and London isn't cheap and so on. Hopefully I can reduce down to 4 then 3 days a week in the summer using that time for my own business development.

      There comes a point when a 'naive question' just becomes 'I will only listen to and, accept the answer I want to hear.'

      I think this thread reached that point a few days ago.
      I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

        Well I am here to learn and have to accept the advice of people who are specialists in this area.. Of course I don't like what I am hearing and I are hoping its not the way it is but it is what it is.... and I am half regretting even returning home.. but I had no choice with that either.....
