I think it depends on where you live and what you want to have in your new location, or what you are running away from. I live in Germany and I am running away from the weather, so I have to look at locations at least a 5 hour flight away if I want good weather all year round.

Are there such places in Europe? Spain? Portugal? And by good weather year round you meant warm or non-cold/wet weather, didn’t you?

  The south coast of Portugal and the east coast of Spain have the mildest winters in mainland Europe, but it can still get a bit nippy (15c/60F highs in the day) during the coldest parts of the year. If you want to travel a bit further the Canary Islands will be warmer. Compared to northern Europe where this year has seen 5 months of winter, that's like paradise though :-)

    I'm on the opposite when it comes to this: I like to have 4 proper seasons and all that comes with it. I remember visiting Malta and even though the sea and nice weather is nice,I don't think the novelty would last for too long, especially when you have to go around sweating all the time because it's simply too hot.

      When the cold and rains especially cold+rains remind you of multiple allergies every year you just wanna give up the novelty :)

> what you want to have in your new location, or what you are running away from. Agreed, that's definitely the idea. It's just I found many people stuck with the stereotypical idea of digital nomads who work in Bali, all sunshine and beaches, which makes the first step harder. In fact, being a digital nomad is much easier than that - just find a place that is better than the current, experience things, and then repeat the process. Also, many Mediterranean cities have pretty decent weather all year round for my taste. I'm not sure if that counts for you :)
