Canada Trip Planner

Danika Latreille

Local Advisor

Naturally curious and passionate about wide open spaces, I’ve always been drawn to destinations that take me out of my comfort zone and off the beaten track.

Now based in Calgary, in the heart of Western Canada, I’m your local expert ready to help you discover a more intimate, wilder, and often unexpected side of the country. I have a soft spot for quiet hiking trails far from the crowds, golden hour light over the mountains, and late-night outings in search of the northern lights dancing across the sky.

It’s a real pleasure for me to help you design a journey that reflects who you are — filled with raw nature, meaningful moments, and authentic discoveries.

My Picks and Travel Tips

What is my favorite destination in Canada?

While it's hard to pick just one favourite destination in Canada — each region has its own unique charm — I have a real soft spot for Western Canada, with its magnificent Rocky Mountains and stunning emerald lakes.

A tip for your trip here

Take the time to immerse yourself in the places you visit and try not to over-schedule your itinerary. This leaves room for discovery on site. Moreover, do not hesitate to start conversations with the locals!

What is my favorite season in Canada?

My favorite season is autumn. It's the opportunity to admire the foliage spectacle where maples take center stage, painting the landscape in shades of red, orange, and gold. It's like walking through a living work of art.

What souvenir to bring back from your trip here?

Although maple syrup is a classic Canadian souvenir, look for unique products infused with maple syrup, such as maple syrup candies, maple-flavored tea, or even maple-infused hot sauces. You can also bring back a Hudson's Bay blanket, a symbol of Canadian heritage. These multi-striped blankets have a rich history and can be both functional and an elegant reminder of your Canadian adventure.

Don't forget to pack in your luggage:

Canada can experience temperature fluctuations, so it is necessary to have multiple layers of clothing to keep warm. A power plug adapter is also essential for charging your electronic devices.

What is my dream trip?

I dream of discovering Finland where I would love to have the chance to witness the spectacle of the Northern Lights and cross the Arctic Circle.
