My best mate went to Oz when he was in his early twenties, and to this day I regret not going with him.
Middle of their winter now, and it's still warmer and sunnier than it is outside my window.

Yeah. It's grim. I'm far too passive on big changes. Moving to Wales was tough. And I had far far less baggage then. But like you said. It's basically now or never.
Tbh I do have lots of options, but a big limit is I only speak English.
Obviously Australia/NZ/Canada is ideal.
Its not even the heat I crave. It's just sun/light and lower population density.

Should be mid 20’s yeah. The argument for places not being designed to deal with that heat is a silly one. Mid 20’s isn’t that hot and is easily dealt with by such things as light, loose clothing, fans, AC etc. humans need sunlight to survive and prosper. A year with very little sun is not good for health or wellbeing.

Everywhere has sunlight. Even Arctic regions have very strong sunlight. Last time the sun was blocked out was a mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs

Hi resident arctic circle inhabitant here.
People take the D, buy those daylight simulation bulbs and kill themselves.
Light is almost worshipped here like some pagan god. I've never seen people so fascinated with light fittings and light sources.
People have also heavily adapted to it. Culture basically promotes low light, cave dwelling conditions as "mysigt" Cozy... Winds me up so I've put 5000 lumen flood lights in every room in my house .

full-spectrum sunlight still exists beyond the clouds just need to go outside
you can also get vitamin D from food

Health is more than just physical, it’s mental too.full-spectrum sunlight still exists beyond the clouds just need to go outside
Are you honestly telling me you’d like a world in which we never get some hot sun on our faces?
when did I say never get sun ? I see plenty of light outside now even though its cloudy while not being uncomfortably hot , when you say hot sun on face that doesnt sound comfortable to me

Nah it’s not a burning hot. In the UK it feels like a deep penetrating warmth that releases endorphins.when did I say never get sun ? I see plenty of light outside now even though its cloudy while not being uncomfortably hot , when you say hot sun on face that doesnt sound comfortable to me
Anyway, we’ll call an end to this conversation. Too much negativity for this thread, talk like this belongs in the it’s too hot thread.

fair enough but endorphins you can get from lots of different activities but we are all different

Really enjoying the weather of late. Sure i'd prefer a little less rain, but the temperature has been perfect.

Food is the most inefficient way to obtain vitamin d.
