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 Australia, and I hate the lack of seasonal variation. Almost every day of the year is sunny with a varying temperature between 15C-45C, or overcast/humid. On the west coast, it rains a whole lot in winter. Visually there aren’t a whole lot of environmental changes, and as an Aussie, the year is generally split into “too hot, less hot, cold, less cold, and repeat.”

    I’ve always wanted to live in a country that experiences and celebrates the changes of the seasons and all the visual beauty it brings, and truth be told, Aussie culture and pastimes don’t appeal to me at all. I feel very alone here.

      Go somewhere south?

      The only thing I dont get here in Melbourne is snow. I love the aesthetics of Autumn, but enjoy the vibe of spring the most. Summer/winter are eh.

      Within a a hour or two travel i can go to prehistoric fern forests, pristine beaches, snowy mountains, sandy deserts, open yellow plains, rivers, and well i think thats it really.
