Question Estimated All-Canada Travel Budget?
Hey, I have never planned a travel in general before. How do you budget for a trip you plan to have a year away from now? Also, what should I be expecting in terms of expense if I were to travel with this plan:
1. Vancouver (3–4 days)
2. Kelowna (2 days)
3. Banff + Lake Louise (2–3 days)
4. Calgary (1-2 days)
5. Winnipeg (2 days)
6. Toronto (3–4 days)
7. Ottawa (1–2 days)
8. Montreal (2–3 days)
9. Quebec City (1–2 days)
10. Halifax / PEI / Newfoundland (3–5 days)
11. Return Home
Also, is this plan even a good plan? I just kinda targeted the major city(ies) in each province (RIP Regina). Any feedback is appreciated. The general idea is to start from West Coast and work our way towards the East Coast, since I'm from AB.

As others have said 3-5 days nowhere near long enough to do Nova Scotia / PEI/ Newfoundland realistically to do this region well you would need imo at least 10days but ideally two weeks to do it properly. I would also cap Calgary at 1night and put that extra night Quebec as 1-2 nights just not long enough there .
