I've been recently thinking about moving (part-time for now, possibly permanently in the future) to another country with a better climate and an outdoorsy lifestyle. I'm a rock climber, I'd also love to learn surfing, and would generally love to be able to go outside and enjoy sunny, warm weather year-round. At the same time, as an entrepreneur I'm not really a fan of handing almost 50% of what I earn for the privilege of living in a more socialist developed country.
After countless hours of research, I realized that you can't have it all (duh) and it essentially comes down to choosing from two completely different types of places:
If you live in a well-developed, expensive high-tax country, do you feel that generally speaking you're fine paying so much in exchange for what you get in return or would you rather have worse infrastructure but lower taxes?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people from/who traveled to/lived in Australia, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Canary Islands, Southern Spain, Southern Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and Cyprus, but I'm interested in learning from anyone who lived or lives in a place with an outdoorsy (warm weather) lifestyle.

- high-tax, expensive, but well-developed safe countries like Australia, Portugal or Spain,
- low- to mid-tax (or territorial tax which can be like zero-tax) cheap(er) but less developed, sometimes not that safe or comfortable places like Nicaragua or Mexico (I exclude small island nations like in the Caribbean) or not particularly attractive due to the cultural reasons (like the UAE).
