Bonjour! Je suis Marie...
… votre aventurière franco-canadienne, désormais installée en Ontario, mon petit coin de paradis. Armée de mon inséparable appareil photo, je suis en mission : capturer les merveilles du monde à travers la nature et l’aventure.
Qui a besoin d’un acolyte quand on a la bougeotte et une caméra?
Ma mission? Montrer aux autres aventuriers - et surtout à mes consœurs - que voyager en solo, ce n’est pas juste possible… c’est carrément grisant!
Alors attachez vos ceintures et suivez-moi dans cette grande aventure à travers le monde, une aventure solo à la fois. Parce que soyons honnêtes : attendre que quelqu’un soit dispo, c’est clairement dépassé.
Suivez-moi sur Instagram!
Tell me why winter suddenly feels 10x better when there’s a warm latte involved? Same.
This is the season where I’m always searching for the coziest, warmest, cute little coffee shop. Here’s how it goes :
1. find a cute café
2. wear your coziest clothes
3. order something warm and comforting
…repeat until spring.
If you’re also living your “coffee shops are my personality” era, I rounded up some of my favourite cozy cafés across Ontario and I promise, they are all worth going outside for.
👉 Scroll through to see all my picks and save a few for your next winter outing.
And now tell me: what cozy Ontario coffee shop should I add to my next road trip list? I’m always looking for new spots to fall in love with. ❤️☕️

✨ Santa may have a workshop at the North Pole… but I’m convinced he sneaks off to Downtown Oakville on the weekends ✨
Because honestly? This town goes all in on holiday magic! Every Saturday until December 20th, downtown turns into a full-on Christmas village: free hot chocolate, Santa wandering the streets, carolers singing between the shops, twinkle lights everywhere… it’s impossible not to feel the holiday magic.
And if you’re planning to turn this into a full festive getaway, stay at @homewoodsuitesoakville . It’s the perfect home base: cozy, convenient, and just a short drive from all the downtown fun. And right now, enjoy 15% off the best available rate and receive a welcome goodie bag at check-in to kick off your stay with a festive touch.
From gingerbread kits at @blackforestpastryshop , to the coolest Christmas gifts at @thewitchsfix , to @anthropologie adorable ornaments… I basically crossed half my Christmas list off in one afternoon. And obviously I had to stop at @kellysbake , the little Christmas tree cupcake was irresistible. 🎄🧁
I even finished the day warming up at @tabulemiddleasterncuisine , Oakville’s newest Middle Eastern spot, and that Lebanese tea was perfect after a chilly day outside!
If you’re looking for a holiday outing that delivers full cozy-Christmas energy, this is your sign to visit Oakville. 💫
Are you team early Christmas, or team “not until December 1st”? Tell me below! 🎅👇

Stick season got you feeling a little… meh?
Same. That weird in-between stretch where the leaves are gone but the snow hasn’t committed yet can make everything look a bit grey.
But here’s the thing : boardwalk trails are the perfect cure.
They still feel magical, they photograph beautifully, and they’re the ideal “in-between season” adventure when you want nature without the mud, slush, or sad-looking trees.
So I rounded up my favourite boardwalks across Ontario :the ones that instantly make stick season feel softer, calmer, prettier.
👉 Scroll through for my top picks and save a few for your next weekend outing. And the good news is, these are just as gorgeous under the snow so they can definitely be used later on!
And tell me… what boardwalk should I add to the list next? 🌲🪵💛

I wasn’t really planning on time-travelling… but that’s kind of what happened. 👀🎄
You know when you walk into a place expecting a cute little visit, and suddenly you’re standing there thinking, “Okay wait… how is this so magical?” That was me at Glanmore National Historic Site in Belleville.
I went in knowing they decorate the house in Victorian-era style for the holidays, but honestly, I had no idea how beautiful and detailed it would be.
If you’re anywhere near Belleville this month, go wander through Glanmore for an hour or two!
Save this for your next little holiday adventure ✨If you’ve never experienced a Victorian Christmas… you’re in for such a treat.
What’s one holiday tradition that instantly puts you in a festive mood?
