Escape the Winter Blues: A Getaway Can Help Alleviate SAD

As winter approaches, many people begin to feel the effects of shorter days and colder weather. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that occurs during the fall and winter months, triggered by a lack of sunlight and changes in daily routines. For those of us who experience this, it can feel like a never-ending cycle of fatigue, low energy, and even hopelessness.

Understanding SAD and Its Impact

Sarah, one of the owners of Travel Tropical Tours, understands the impact of these changes in mood deeply. Living with bipolar disorder has given her a personal connection to the highs and lows that can come with seasonal changes, which is one of the main reasons she chose to move to Costa Rica. She’s found that seeking out sunshine, natural beauty, and active exploration during the winter months can make a huge difference.

"For me, travel has been more than just a passion—it's been a lifeline during tough times. The tropical warmth of Costa Rica and the chance to reconnect with nature always bring me a sense of peace when the winter gloom would set in." says Sarah.

She knows firsthand how important it is to recharge both mentally and emotionally, especially for those dealing with mental health challenges like bipolar disorder or SAD.
