Well, I am a US expat in Europe, I lived in a house in San Francisco with a very nice home office slash man-cave, then moved to London where it's a 9'x6' (3x2m) fish bowl with eaves and no air conditioning. But it's really the isolation that got to me, most of my colleagues were remote in Tel Aviv. It also helps that my commute is 30 minutes by bus + Tube vs 45 to 90 minutes in SF due to Muni's abysmal unreliability.
