Pick Colombia 🇨🇴 if you're going in…

January, February, June, July, August, December

Medellín's 'eternal spring' weather makes it a great remote-work base.

Pick Japan 🇯🇵 if you're going in…

April, May, September, October

Book sakura-week accommodation in Kyoto 6+ months ahead — and budget for ~2x normal rates. If you miss the cherry blossom window, head to Hokkaido in early May where the sakura peaks 4–5 weeks later.

Months where both are equally good: March, November.
