I try to write in the Queen's English as much as possible. Having worked in global finance and finding out that those outside of the US often think that American's are illiterate not realizing that they have "intentional alternative spellings" changes how you think about your writing style. Americans pretty much all know that everyone else has different spellings and know that they are taught American spellings in school. Even Canadians are often surprised to learn this and truly just think most Americans have no idea how to spell. So... I try to avoid the Americanisms.

Interesting perspective. So you're an American who doesn't like foreign stereotypes about American spelling, but you prefer to reinforce those stereotypes by adopting the foreign spellings of valid American English words?

Ha, in a way. One could argue that they are not exactly valid given that they were not organic but mostly intentional making them a, in a way, not so valid.

I live "most of the time" in Europe so it is more important for me. I'll be in Greece, Romania and Canada at a minimum more than the US this year.
