Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.
(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).
New Zealand is option 2 for me too, but australia and NZ feel like they are completely dosconnected to the rest of the world. Even tho I got some cousins there.
