I ask this because I live in a country with the classic seasonal variation most peoples mind comes to if you say seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).

I enjoy the variety in activities and I am always happy once a season ends and a new one comes with new activities and especially vegies and fruits that come along that season.

Here in Germany I am always hyped for the next season to start and I enjoy all of them. Spring in April comes with Asparagus, Rhubarb, later on strawberries, … summer with fresh pears, cherries etc.

I could go on.

And not only speaking of food, also activities. Swimming in Summer, hiking in Autumn, Snowboarding in Winter, cycling and hiking in spring, swimming and stand up paddeling in summer and so on the cycle repeats every three to four months new activities.

I have been to SEA a lot and I like it there too but I couldn’t imagine a life without the seasons and I couldn’t imagine living in a place where it’s either dry season, wet season and so on.

Edit: I know people get use to where they live but I was in Australia once in my life during winter season and it just never felt like christmas. It always felt weird. I need the cold and rainy or snowy days here in Germany to make it feel like “winter, christmas”.

    I live in Medellin, Colombia. It’s known as The City of Eternal Spring. All year the temperature stays between 20-25 C. It’s pretty great. We have very small seasons of rain and sun alternating every few weeks and the sunlight varies by about 1/2 hour either direction all year round so you get 12 hours of light and twelve hours of darkness damn near the whole year round. Life at the equator is great. If you want to find someplace hotter you just go to a lower altitude. To find someplace colder you just go someplace higher.

      Tbh, that does sound quite awesome. Cold enough that you can still do things like going for a run, but warm enough to be enjoyable. Out of all the types of weather I generally like the 20-25 degree spring/summer weather the most.

      Maybe it’s a bit of Stockholm syndrome, but I think I’d start to miss the delightful Dutch autumn/winter/spring classic of rain, wind, and 5-10 degrees Celsius after a while though. It’s a collective topic to complain about, and yet there’s nothing to remind you that you’re home like cycling though this abysmal weather.

        You would not miss it. For the first few years you would think “wow this weather is great!” Then you would get used to it and be freezing cold if the weather was even slightly chilly.

        Also, one thing you don’t realize until you live somewhere with nice weather: they don’t have insulation and they prioritize airflow. So even a windy day will make your house cold.
