Climbing Trip: Where to go?

So I have around a month from the beginning of May until the beginning of June, some money to use, and I want to climb somewhere (or multiple places) amazing. Where would you go?

Factors: I boulder (we will say up to V6/V7) , sport climb (mostly into the high 11s, projecting 12s), and trad (just starting to get into it, 5.9s still feel like an experience). I unfortunately have no vehicle, but most of my own gear, a decent rack, speak English and French fluently, can get around with Spanish.

I was looking into everywhere from Thailand to Squamish. Especially interested in places I don't need a car to climb (renting cars dips into a budget pretty fast...)

Thoughts?

Go to arapiles in Australia and catch the end of fall climbing season. Pretty easy to get there from melbourne, easy to find partners, really good camping, and phenomenal climbing of all sorts (multipitch, single pitch, trad, sport) all within walking distance of camp (10-20 min for hundreds of climbs!)

^ Just looked up the Arapiles; looks incredible and I'm strongly considering it. How is the weather in May? I don't really want to spend too much time rained out of my trip...

Getting a bit risky going in may. Check out the climate statistics for the town "Natimuk"which is 10 min away.
