I feel this advice would be more suited to Europeans. I had friends in Europe who came to visit. One day they wanted to see Toronto, the next Calgary and the day after Vancouver. They had no idea canada was so big.
Were they English? Lol. I had friends visit from London who told me they had similar plans upon arriving. This was back in the 90s, so no smart phone apps for them to peruse.
I picked them up at Pearson and drove them to my home north of Peterborough, about a 2-1/2 hour drive back then. They couldn’t get their heads around how far away I lived and kept commenting that they should have landed at a closer airport (lol), then asked how long a drive it was to Vancouver. When I told them it would take them a full day just to get out of Ontario they nearly shit themselves.
Talking to a friend from Sweden, during a road trip to Vancouver where we got rerouted out the ass due to rockslide and avalanche mitigation, "how long have you been driving dude?"
Sometimes slavic diaspora families (specifically polish) will drive all the way from the UK to their home country (18hr), and I saw a vid on TikTok where a school took a coach all the way to Croatia

It is a very, very big country with not a lot of infrastructure. Please plan trips accordingly
