Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

      Please realize Northern European winters are… dark. It’s not the cold that matters much, it’s the darkness for months on end that can be seriously detrimental to mental health if you’re not used to it.

      I think of most of the middle east as coastal places less than actual middle of the desert life. I don’t get the appeal of living in US states like Arizona or Nevada.

      I grew up in Alabama/Tennessee/Georgia with all of those trees, rivers, and forests. I have to say, the bugs and extreme humidity make the heat unbearable.

      I live in Southern California now and moved here because it is the best weather in the world in a few small pockets very close to the coast. It is 15°-25° year round here.

      I don’t know of any place with trees and rivers that is devoid of a terrible season or four.

      I live in Finland and used to live in Portugal. Trust me, you don’t need to go so far north. Half the year you don’t want to go out because of how cold it is. The novelty wears out fast!

      Germany was pretty good but alas, hard to find work that pays well enough with the horrible housing situation.
