Nothing can convince me that northern European climate isn't the best climate for humans. It's nice to have warm summers and all but for the rest of the year I'll decide how hot I am thank you very much.
The best climate is here in Medellin. It’s called the city of eternal spring. All year round the daytime temperatures are around 23°.
I really like having seasons. Seeing nature around you change every year is fascinating. Also there's nothing like walking home on a crisp snowy winter night. 23°C is around my upper limit for what's comfortable.
As somebody who still wears shorts in -5C, that does sound pretty nice. Anything above about 27 can go fuck itself.
The neat thing about being at the equator is that temperature is more to do with your altitude than any other factor. If you want to be hotter in Colombia you just go downhill. Higher up if you want to get colder. Bogota is closer to 15° all year since it's a few hundred meters higher up in the mountains than Medellin. Cartagena is closer to 29° since it's right on the coast at sea level.
