Bonjour! I'm Marie...
... your friendly French-Canadian adventurer, currently calling Ontario, home sweet home. Armed with my trusty camera, I'm on a quest to capture the wonders of the world through nature and adventure photography. Who needs a sidekick when you've got wanderlust and a camera?
My mission? To show fellow adventurers, especially my fellow ladies, that solo travel isn't just possible – it's downright exhilarating!
So, buckle up and join me on this wild ride as I navigate the globe one solo adventure at a time. Because let's face it, waiting around for someone else's schedule is so last season.

Ontario has over 330 provincial parks. Most people visit the same 3. Here are the ones worth actually putting on your list this summer 👇
Sleeping Giant - A 21km hike to the Top of the Giant with views over Lake Superior that don’t look real. This is the one that converts people into Ontario believers.
Lake Superior PP - Turquoise water, ancient Agawa Rock pictographs, and a drive along the Trans-Canada that belongs on a bucket list. Most people drive past it. Don’t.
Bon Echo - Paddle up to a 100m cliff face covered in Indigenous pictographs. The sunsets here are genuinely unreal.
Killarney - White quartzite ridges, sapphire lakes, and the La Cloche Silhouette Trail. This is Ontario’s most underrated park, full stop.
Petroglyphs - 900-year-old Indigenous rock carvings, a meromictic lake, and almost zero crowds. If you only visit one hidden gem this summer, make it this one.
Frontenac - 22 lakes, backcountry camping, and a boardwalk trail that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale.
Pinery - Lake Huron sunsets and sand dunes straight out of a movie.
Charleston Lake —- Yurt rentals, crystal clear water, and hiking trails that almost nobody talks about. Your secret weapon for a last-minute summer trip.
Save this for your summer planning

This is the Ontario road trip I keep recommending to everyone who asks me where to go this summer. 🌊
Bruce County and Peninsula has this incredible mix of cozy beach towns, insane natural landscapes and unique experiences that you genuinely can’t find anywhere else in the province.
Watch the reel for the full itinerary. Every stop mapped out so you can just show up and enjoy it.
Save this one, you’re going to come back to it all summer. 🌊
Have you been to Bruce Peninsula before or is it still on your list? 👇

Ontario’s small towns are genuinely some of my favourite places to explore and I don’t think they get nearly enough attention.
Every single one of them has something special and every single one is worth the drive. 🌿
This is your summer small town bucket list. Swipe through for all 10 with what to do, where to eat and why they’re worth the stop.
Save this one, you’re going to come back to it all summer.
And honestly Ontario has so many incredible small towns that 10 barely scratches the surface. Do you want me to do a part 2? Drop a 👇 below and I’ll get on it.
What’s your favourite Ontario small-town?

Kingston is seriously slept on when it comes to spa experiences and I’m on a mission to try them all. 🧖♀️
I’ve done three so far and every single one has been worth it.
1) The scalp massage and facial at @labellakingston is one of those treatments you didn’t know you needed until you try it. I walked out feeling completely the most relaxed I felt in a long time.
2) The underground bathhouse at the @belvederekingston is stunning, a full spa cycle in this gorgeous underground space that feels like you’ve been transported somewhere in Europe.
3) And @stokedsaunaco behind The Frontenac Club is my go-to for a sauna and cold plunge session.
I also have @glowspakingston on my list for their spa cycle and I have a feeling it’s going to be just as good. Will report back once I try it! 👀
Save this for your next Kingston trip and treat yourself, you deserve it. 🌿
