As more people work from home, it means that you can travel without taking the time off.
Workcations have taken off in the past couple of years and new data just confirmed that Victoria is the best place to take it this winter in Canada.
In a media release, Icelandair has ranked places to go on a workcation in the winter and Victoria made the top five in the world.
The decision was made on the quality of life, restaurant prices, internet speed, Instagramability, rainy days, temperature, and snowfall.
Victoria took the top place for all of Canada, and we aren't that surprised.
It's a beautiful city that has everything you need, amazing views, and tons of fun activities to do after work.
There is a lot of exploring, and beautiful nature that will make you feel relaxed after a long day on the computer.
If you're already packing up your bags, you're going to want to book a place to cozy up for your winter workcation.
Here are some stunning Airbnbs that will make for a great trip.
