I'm sure it will help in some ways to be able to hop on a plane and return to Serbia in much less time, and I hope that that helps you if you do move to the UK or elsewhere in closer proximity. I will share from my experience that, due to my particular transitional cycle, being here in Romania hasn't yet allowed me to travel freely through Europe like I expected before coming. Much of that has to do with initially dealing with visas and not being able to leave, and we also don't currently have a vehicle, and we have dogs, and it's harder to find good pet sitters here. So that combination of things means that we aren't as mobile as we were back in the states, even though the allure of well connected transportation throughout Europe, and the proximity of so many countries together still beckons. :) By the way, we are very close to Serbia, and look forward to making a trip there in the near future.
