This is hard. I have definitely experienced extremely hot weather. I am from Las Vegas, NV and have spent a lot of time in Phoenix, AZ as well. Both extremely hot. I didn't mind the heat at all. Until I moved to Provo, UT. Summers are hot, but winters can get pretty chilly. Definitely not extremely cold though. Now, when I go home, I cannot handle the extremely hot summers in Vegas. I hate it. Right now, I am so looking forward to the day it snows finally. And I love early mornings in Utah because its about 35 degrees. But that is in no way extremely cold. The coldest I have experienced is -10 degrees. So, until I experience extremely cold weather, not sure I can answer this well. For now, I'll say extremely hot is worse. You can only get so naked...but, you can put on lots and lots of layers and be relatively warm.

Being that I am living away from the home I grew up in and going to college in another state, home is something that has been hard to define. I definitely don't think that it's a specific place. While I was living in Vienna, I felt like I was home. While currently living in Provo, UT I feel like this is home. And when I am at home in Las Vegas with my family, I feel like I am home. It is most definitely a feeling. Partially people as well, but in all those three places that feel like "home" to me, none of the same people are there. It's about familiarity with the place, the culture, the region, the people. In essence, I think anywhere can be home for me.

Absolutely. I lived in Austria for 4 months and I loved every minute of it. In fact, I would probably prefer living in another country over living in the states, at least sometimes. Not that I don't love America, I just love traveling. I would live in Austria again. Probably for the rest of my life. I would also live in Germany, or Switzerland, or Japan. Or Sweden. Or France. Or Argentina. All for any amount of time. The longer the better.
