Just say that you're going to work for yourself, feel free to hint that it might be in the same domain.

The point at which you are leaving isn't probably the best time to look for business. Just try to leave without burning bridges, which usually means saying very little.

This is the best job I've ever had and I think everyone there is awesome. This should be a mutually beneficial move for everyone so I don't think burning bridges will be an issue.

I quit the best job I ever had. Honestly, I regret it still.

really? any more details on this? We always hear stories about people being happy about quitting their job and how they should have done it earlier.

What did you quit for?

I quit because I moved to Italy for 2 years. That was 4 years ago. I miss the job and the people. I would recommend taking a 'leave of absence' before quitting.
