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.
Let’s connect on Instagram!
What if I told you there’s a place in Ontario that feels like California? 🌴☀️
Yep, I’m talking beach days, tacos, retro motel vibes, and golden hour sunsets... all in Sauble Beach, Ontario.
Here’s how to plan the perfect California-style weekend in Sauble Beach:
🍳 Brunch at The Wellness Refinery (smoothie bowls + aesthetic overload)
🏖️ Lounge on Sauble’s long sandy beach
🌮 Grab tacos from the Casero Taco Bus (yes, it’s a real bus)
🛎️ Check into The June Motel for that full retro-chic escape
🌊 Explore Sauble Falls Provincial Park (tiny hike, big payoff)
🍸 Dinner and cocktails at Heydays = total summer nostalgia
🌅 And of course... sunset over Lake Huron. Trust me, don’t skip it.
You don’t need a flight to find the California vibe—just a car, some sunshine, and a weekend in Sauble Beach.
📍Save this itinerary for your next Ontario beach trip!

Did you know you could stay in a treehouse right here in Ontario?
Nestled near Minden, Ontario, The Baltic by @fort_treehouse_co offers just that—a fairytale retreat for two, perched amidst the whispering pines of the Haliburton Highlands.
As a kid, I dreamed of having my own treehouse. One with a ladder to climb, secret corners to hide in, and branches swaying around me like a storybook scene.
But growing up in the city, that dream always felt a little out of reach—more imaginary than real.
Now, as an adult, I finally found it. My dream treehouse.
Not in some faraway forest, but right here in the heart of Ontario.
The Baltic is everything little me imagined and then some: a cozy loft bed with forest views, a fireplace that fills the space with warmth and flickering light, and the most peaceful cedar hot tub tucked away in the woods. It’s off-grid, quiet, and somehow still full of magic.
If you’ve been dreaming of a treehouse stay in Ontario, this one’s for you. ✨
Save this post for your next romantic getaway or solo escape into the woods.

Plot twist: went on a ski trip… and kind of learned to ski?? 🫣
Spent the weekend at @calabogiepeaks and it was the perfect girls’ winter getaway—even for someone who’s more après-ski than ski itself…
✨ bunny hill ski lessons with the most patient instructor (shoutout Bruce)
✨ snowshoeing down the Ole K&P trail
✨ spicy Caesars and snowy views
We stayed right at the Calabogie Peaks Resort Hotel—literally steps from the slopes and trails. Whether you’re skiing, snowshoeing, or just in it for the vibes, it’s the perfect base for an Ontario ski trip.
The moral of this story? You don’t have to be a pro skier to plan a weekend getaway at Calabogie Peaks Resort!
Save this for your next adventure in the Ottawa Valley 🏔️
‼️ Calabogie Peaks just closed for the season but the resort is still open! Stay tuned for summer hiking!!

There are places you dream about for so long, you start to wonder if they’ll ever live up to the picture you’ve painted in your mind. For me, the Amalfi Coast was one of those places.
The winding roads, lemon-scented air, and colorful cliffside villages—I’d imagined it all a hundred times. But visiting solo in March, without a car, came with a few surprises. Ferries weren’t running, buses were few and far between, and I realized seeing everything I wanted might be trickier than I thought.
So I did something I rarely do when I travel solo: I joined a guided day tour with @getyourguide . And honestly? It was the best decision. I got to explore Positano, Amalfi, Ravello—and take in the coast from all angles, without the stress of figuring it out on my own.
Swipe through for a glimpse of one of Italy’s dreamiest regions—yes, even in the off-season, the Amalfi Coast is pure magic.

Welcome to the third edition of my “Why cross the border when Ontario has this?” series—this time, we’re exploring Thousand Islands, Ontario.
Located along the St. Lawrence River, this region has been a go-to tourist destination since the 1800s. But you don’t need to leave Canada to enjoy its beauty—the Canadian side is just as magical.
Here’s the perfect Thousand Islands itinerary on the Ontario side:
🛶 Paddle through quiet island channels by kayak
🍳 Grab brunch at Lavern’s Eatery in Gananoque
🚁 Take a scenic helicopter ride for incredible views
🚢 Hop on a Thousand Islands cruise past castles and cottages
🥾 Hike to the lookout at Landon Bay for epic river views
🗼 Go up the Thousand Islands Tower for a 360° panorama
🍻 End the day with a local beer or cider tasting at Arbru Brewery or BUSL Cider
⛺ Stay overnight in a Parks Canada O’TENTik tent (some are on private islands!)
If you’re looking for things to do in Thousand Islands, this getaway has it all—nature, views, cozy stays, and local food + drinks.
