If the work-from-home life is where you're at, you know that the place you live in makes all the difference.

This dreamy little city in B.C. is actually ranked one of the best in all of Canada and the U.S. to work from home in — so you might want to consider a move.

Or take full advantage of remote working and book a workcation here!

Colwood, B.C., is located on Vancouver Island and came in fifth place on a list of the best places to work from home in the two countries, according to PCMag.

With remote life, work can now be exciting and travel is made way easier.

You probably haven't even heard of this city, but now it's time to start researching it because you'll want to book a flight to the beautiful town ASAP.

Colwood has been ranked this high because of the suburban life it provides, which includes easy access to Victoria, many parks, historic buildings and the ocean nearby.

The city is also home to Hatley Castle, which looks like it was taken right out of Bridgerton.

While there, you can visit and pretend you're in a real-life fairytale.

According to PCMag, the average cost of a home there is $884,700, so if you're thinking of buying and settling down, it's not super cheap.

This city is only 9 kilometres away from the province's capital, Victoria.

If you're looking for a fun weekend trip, you can easily head there.

This super cute city would make the ideal stay for anyone working from home, and it's now officially one of the best to do it in!
