I simply wish to survive a nuclear exchange and be able to live out my life with an acceptable level of comfort.
Australia, South Africa. Good luck. You’ll probably need a good oncologist in a few years.
In most scenarios, the northern hemisphere is gone.
From studying volcanic eruptions and Chernobyl, the fallout will form bands along latitude lines. However the Coriolis effect will mix it up a bit and eventually spread it out.
You’ll still have to deal with the massive environmental changes even before you die of cancer.

Nuclear winter refers to a planet wide catastrophy, so there is no place to avoid it. Its referring to a could of dust, kicked up by the explosion(s) that would encircle the Earth, thus blocking the sun and lowering global temperatures.
Worrying about nuclear winter and fallout doesn’t accomplish anything. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, there’s nothing we can do about it.

A good bet might be Hawaii. In a no-holes-barred total exchange, the game is up for all of us. In a limited exchange, the Big Island south of Hilo is the place to be. Theym (NOAA) measure some of the cleanest air in the world there. The air is scrubbed by 3,000 miles of ocean before hitting land.
Also, it’s a great place to live
