I arrived in canada to work for 12 months.
Unfortunately I really can't help but think of ways to escape. i have spent a lot of my savings getting this far and i don't want to waste any more money being somewhere i don't enjoy.
Does anyone have ideas about where is cheap (flights and cost of living) and how long money should last. I left my other travel books at home in the uk so any advice you could offer really could save me from here. thanks.

haha its not THAT bad here... where are you??

Vancouver is a good place... Montreal is great too... hang in there!

cheers!

Sounds like you're homesick. Don't worry - hang in there and the feeling will pass.

Although there are many parts of the world that are cheaper than Canada (eg much of Asia) I don't recommend you jump on a plane without thinking carefully first about (a) what you don't like about Canada and (b) what are you really looking for in your travels.

Whatever, good luck!
