My Manchester-area friend moved to Norfolk (Virginia version) because it is the most similar to his childhood climate.
As much as I have an affinity for drizzle and clouds overhead (helps with my cricket bowling too!) I must admit that I would not pursue a similar climate on purpose going forward...
having now lived in Manchester, Sheffield, Lancaster, Utrecht and Copenhagen... which all have quite a similar climate, I kind of feel like Med life might be for me next. Haha.
In October there is a *chance* I will get offered a job back in Denmark. Maybe only a 25% chance... but a chance.
I love Copenhagen and would for sure think about going back, and if only option to have role for sure would. BUT there is a likelihood if it works out I can work remotely and choose where I live.
And while Copenhagen is an awesome city, and great for hockey too... five months a year where the weather negatively affects your life is annoying. Plus a Danish salary would go a loooong way in France, Spain, Italy or Portugal. And I could surf way more.
Not that I am getting ahead of myself here...
