Lola Chrétien
As a passionate traveler, I fell in love with Canada. Its breathtaking landscapes, vastness, diversity, and friendly people captured my heart, and I've never looked back since. With its pristine lakes, dense forests, majestic mountains, stunning fjords, glaciers, spectacular waterfalls, and national parks, you can easily spot a moose on a hike or a whale on a kayak outing. Canada is a vast country with so much to offer, there's something for everyone!

How did you get involved in travel?
"It all started with my tourism teacher, who had us study a travel agency specializing in New Zealand, a country that fascinated me. Once I graduated, I was off to New Zealand for 7 months, exploring it from north to south. The travel fever biting, I then spent two years in Australia and Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and the Philippines. Ironically, when I returned from this trip of a lifetime, I found a job as a travel consultant in the agency that my tourism teacher had us study in class. After 4 years of experience introducing travelers to the Pacific, my thirst for discovery called me to pack my bags again and explore the vast country that is Canada. The ecological impact of travel was close to my heart, and Altai shared the same concerns and values as I did: sincerity, passion, respect, discovery of a destination through its landscapes, but also its culture, exchanges with locals, and gastronomy, to discover a destination as a whole... there are no problems, only solutions, so it was obvious that I should become an Altai Canada specialist! Beware, the love of Canada is contagious - you too may never leave!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Are you ready for a life-changing experience? Let me tell you about my trip to New Zealand where I had the opportunity to try out bungee jumping. The bungee jump company invited all the city's tourism staff to try out not one, but four different jumps - each one more exciting than the last!
The first jump was 43 meters above a river, the second was a swing between two mountains, the third was 134 meters high, and the last one was freestyle. It was an unforgettable day that transformed me and opened my eyes to the boundless possibilities of travel. I realized that travel can push you to your limits and teach you invaluable lessons. It's essential to know your products well to advise travelers better, and the tourism sector is like a big, close-knit family where nothing is impossible!
Are you ready to take the leap and experience the thrill of bungee jumping? Book your trip today and join the adventure!"
