    That’s honestly an amazingly high number, at least compared to my experience in the US. If it weren’t for the climate I’d want to move to Australia

      We’re the 6th largest country on the planet, we stretch from tropical rain forests in the north, to deserts in the west, to snowy mountains in the south with everything in between What climate are you looking for?

        Is the south as cold as like the northern US? I currently live in the mid-atlantic US but if I could actually afford to move I think I would want somewhere a little colder than where I am now

          Yeah, you’re not going to get that in Australia. The latitude goes down to about 42° South in Tasmania. Boston is about 42° North. I know there’s much more to the climate than just latitude, but gives you some idea.

          Interesting that you’d like it colder. I’ve moved from Australia to Atlantic Canada and much as I’m loving it here - there’s a lot to said for a more temperate climate.

            I just hate the summer, fall is fine here but I’d rather it be colder all the time in exchange for not being incredibly hot in the summer

              You might want to look into Scandinavia, Finland, Iceland, the Benelux countries, Northern Germany, Scotland, or Ireland, then.

              Of just anywhere in sufficiently high mountains, I guess 🤷

                As a sassenach I shouldn’t really be encouraging this but just been up to Glasgow and it’s a very compelling proposition!

                It also seems to have a very cheap network of flights into the rest of Europe

          Is the south as cold as like the northern US?

          Apparently yes, in the sense that our buildings are so terribly insulated that there’s no real inside/outside temperature difference.
