People who know us well know that this old dream has always remained alive. Sometimes hidden a bit deeper because it wasn’t the right time, sometimes more alive.
Our mission to raise our children in Belgium is almost accomplished. All three are grown up. The youngest will graduate next year.
Of course, they are what we hold most dear, we continue to need them and they need us. But a relationship with grown-up children is different than when you are still in a more caring role. With today’s means of communication, a lot is still possible. And Greece is not so far away that we won’t see them again. We will have to search together, but it should be possible to find a way together.
After my (Bart) resignation from SQM at the end of 2019, I started Ag Ambition, my own business in international trade. I can basically run that from anywhere in the world, as long as I stay near the European time zones.
And finally, there are also financial reasons why the end of 2022/beginning of 2023 is a good time for us to move to Greece. This is not the reason to choose this project or Greece, but it is useful to define our timing.
