Am I selfish?

I am a 23 year-old who is soon to work and live abroad with my partner. I have lived with my parents most of my life, and I will be 1 hour by plane, or 4 hours by train. Realistically, I would probably be able to see them every 3 weeks, but sometimes for long time periods, due to the nature of my job. I have already lived abroad before, but it was only for a few months. I have a degree in this language, and would love to work in a job which will enable me to continue using this language, but of course, I would love to be with my partner full-time, as I know it would be harder to keep a relationship in other countries for even longer. I generally get on well with my family, and we have our occasional arguments, but I love them a lot and this is in no way to 'escape' them, or anything like that. I have a friend who keeps talking about me leaving 'forever', and asking in a worried voice, you will still see your family sometimes, right? Even though I have every intention of doing that... For some reason her comments have made me feel selfish and like I am abandoning them or something. My mother is actually foreign and sees her own parents yearly, and my father sees his usually once per week. I also have other relatives who have moved abroad. Some of my friends have moved to towns a couple of hours away, and come back every couple of weeks. I am very fortunate in that I have never had to pay rent and such, and of course I will miss them a lot, but I know I am not moving to Australia forever. Am I a selfish person to do this, or should I stop worrying about that? Thanks in advance.
