My partner and I returned to Canada in March of 2023 after almost 6 years of full time travel and experiencing different parts of the world. To say that I was shocked by the state of the country is an understatement. I had severe anxiety and reverse culture shock for much of that year. Something is extremely broken there. In September we flew back to Europe and I must say it was a relief to get back out. Canada is not the country I grew up in anymore. I hope it can turn itself around before it’s too late.
