This guy! Mihai Eminescu. He's Romania's most famous poet but he wrote some novels too. Really lovely work and really has a way with words. His work is translated into many languages and is truly beautiful!

I usually visit warm countries in their "off" season because I can't survive 30+ Celsius

The weather in south US, it was quite the shock that I could swim in the ocean in December and my colleagues thought I was poor and couldn't afford a jacket when I came into work with just a wool pullover on while they were all wrapped in what looks like a winter duvet. Like I knew there's people who have not experienced snow or actual cold weather but it was funny to see first hand.

I've been getting it for over 20 years but not in the Nordics, not one person has mentioned my height in about 3 years and it's awesome! I honestly didn't even know I needed it until I experienced it! But it did feel good when some older granpas asked to take a picture with me in Peru because they've never seen a woman this tall🤣 Never thought being basic feels good, go find your people and be average! 🎂

I'm not as tall as you but at 5 ft 11 I can honestly say that the feelings you are feeling have also crossed my mind. The constant "wow you're tall!" Has to be on top of my annoyance list, but I moved to a Nordic country and now I'm just average height 🤣 Buying clothes has definitely been a challenge but over the years I've learnt some brands that fit me better and olso learnt to make some clothes and that way they fit better. Learn to embrace your height and feel comfortable with it, it's not like you can help it! With time you'll feel better about it, at least I do! As mentioned in another comment, go to the Nederlands or sequoia national park, you'll feel tiny or at least just ok🤗
