Thank you for checking out my blog!
Hello, I am Marie. Traveller. Blogger. Photographer. I was born in New Brunswick, Canada and now I am living in the province of Ontario. I have traveled to over 30 countries around the world ever since I started traveling at the age of 6.
I hope this blog will give you some inspiration and useful tips to pursue your adventures. Let’s find some beautiful places to get lost!
What does “Msurlaroute”? It’s French for M on the road. Why a French name? Because I’m French-Canadian of course!
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.

Most Asked Questions
First of all, it’s important to note that I am not a full time traveller. I’m actually a University Professor who travels on her spare time. That means that I go on as many adventures as I can on the weekends and during my vacation time. For me traveling can be as simple as exploring the hiking trails around my city, or as elaborate as trekking the Sahara desert on camel back.
In the mid 2010s, I created a blog called Entre2escales. This was my very first experience blogging and on social media. After a difficult split before the pandemic, I had to close it. It broke my heart. When we were on lock down during COVID I decided to take on photography again and created my Msurlaroute Instagram page. It’s only very recently that I decided to start blogging again and I’m so excited for this new blogging chapter.
I absolutely love solo traveling. I love the freedom it gives me and it’s a way for me to step out of my comfort zone. Over the years, I’ve become a pretty experienced solo traveler. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy going on trips and adventures with my fiancé. We both love going on hiking trips around the world! I’m doubly lucky that he also supports my love of solo traveling.
