This could be the most effective cure for mid-winter blues
If you’re slowly starting to feel less enthusiastic and less optimistic about the new year, or you find yourself getting cranky for no reason at all, you’re not alone.
And there’s a reason for this: Blue Monday. It’s a real thing, and it’s also known as the hardest day of the year to get through. Stuck in the middle of winter with summer months away, it can really get you worked up.
It doesn’t help that we’re dealing with cold, rainy days. So if you need to break yourself out of your wintertime blues, a vacation could be just what you need. And we have facts to back it up!
Sunwing conducted a survey of travellers across the country to find out just what makes Canadian travellers vacation better and have happier travel experiences. Here’s what they learned:
