And what changes do you think will stick if, and when, you return to a more structured life?

I’ve been thinking about this after several years of moving around Latin America. I’ve spent anything from a few days to many months in different places.

Is it a certain amount of time - a month, three months, six months? Or is it more about having a normal routine there: working, doing groceries, going to the gym, having a local coffee shop, dealing with everyday life rather than just sightseeing?

For me I have a few places I’ve returned to multiple times, have the public transport cards, have used as a base to fly out and back from. Then there are others that I feel I’ve spent decent time in but I’m not sure I’d class it as having lived there..

I’m currently in Panama City and I’d forgotten just how hot and humid it is!

After spending the last few years in Latin America, I’ve found myself gravitating towards places with milder climates like Bogotá, Quito, Lima and to a lesser extent, Medellín.

I like the heat when I’m on holiday by a pool, but I’ve realised I don’t enjoy living in it. I like living a walkable life and sweating after 10 minutes walking doesn’t work for me..

How much does climate influence where you choose to base yourself? Has it become more or less important over time?
