The Value of Travel
It is said that travel broadens the mind. It offers a break from your normal routine and presents you with a fresh set of people, customs, activities and places. Travel tends to make you appreciate what you have, to a greater extent, but it also makes you realise that some things could be improved or done differently.
The weather affects your impression of a new place. Warm days and sunny skies may encourage you to relocate, but what is the new place like in winter or at the peak of summer? A tour guide said recently that her home city fell to -40 degrees in winter and that the wind chill could be another -40. Understandably, people didn't want to spend their retirement in those conditions.
With less extremes, including high humidity and torrential downpours, Melbourne's weather doesn't look so bad - except for the lack of regular rain (which we would like at night and/or when we are at work).
