I do something similar.  I have a spare partition that I symlink between
personal sub-directories and home space.

e.g. Inside /home/tim have a symlink to /space/tim/

I do something similar with storage space networked, symlinking from
the /net/server/home/tim/stuff into /home/tim/network/.

You can keep your personal files anywhere you like, though large files
that need high speed access are usually better off locally stored.
