I’m spending a couple weeks traveling around Canada and my takeaways are 1) I’m very glad I don’t currently live where its cold, and 2) vacation & detaching from work is very important for mental health

Just Ontario/Quebec this trip, but a trip to Vancouver is well overdue

coming to vancouver? couple of casters here

I love BC! Just visiting Ontario/Quebec this trip but am a huge fan of BC.

Welcome to Canada! I hope you get a chance to visit BC and embrace more nature - i found it really helps in my case

Absolutely. Weekend trips are great, but taking extended time off does wonders for actually detaching. I'm taking about 3 weeks off during the holidays and it's been fantastic

#2 is super important, a lesson that’s been reiterated to me over the past week or so. 

For me, it takes about a week to feel the benefits in full..2-3 days for my “work brain” to quiet then 4-5 days of regular R&R

Thanks! I was born & raised here but since I moved out to Cali I haven't spent extended time here in the winter.

Spent a couple weeks in Toronto with my family, and now I'm in Montreal/Quebec City for a couple weeks :)

Haha welcome to cold country! What areas are you checking out?

Checking out the west coast? We’ve had a very mild winter this year.
