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.

For over a hundred years, the men who lived in this house woke up, looked at the lake, and went to work captaining the Wolfe Island ferry. Three generations of them. Same water, same crossing, every day.
I thought about that a lot during my stay at @themullinhouse_ (mainly from the bathtub, because the tub faces the lake and once you’re in it there’s no reason to be anywhere else.)
The Mullin House just opened as a stay, and those who brought it back to life did it in the best way that possible. Keeping the soul of the place.Places with an actual story make my job as a photographer easy. I just have to pay attention.
And if you want to stay here too: It’s a free 20-minute ferry from Kingston, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 10. So this is your sign to plan the group trip you keep talking about.
Save this for when you book it, and be honest, would you make it out of that bathtub by checkout?
Thank you to @themullinhouse_ for having me!

I grew up an hour from the Bay of Fundy. And every few years, my school would pile us onto a bus and take us to Hopewell Rocks or Fundy National Park. And every single time, as a kid, I thought : ‘okay, cool. Rocks. Trees. Can we go home now?’
I had absolutely no idea what I was standing next to.
It took me leaving New Brunswick, travelling across the country before I came back to the Bay of Fundy as an adult and genuinely had my breath taken away. I grew up next to one of the most extraordinary places on the planet and completely took it for granted. And I think a lot of Maritimers probably feel the same way.
This carousel is my attempt to fix that, for myself, and for anyone who’s never made the trip. Scroll through and I’ll show you exactly how I’d plan a road trip along the New Brunswick side, from the tidal flats to the coastal cliffs to the little fishing towns that feel completely frozen in time.
And if you have extra days to spare, Saint John is absolutely worth a stop, underrated city, great food scene, and it sits right on the bay.
I’m also heading back this summer to try a stay I’ve had my eye on for a while, I genuinely cannot wait to tell you all about it. 👀
Save this for your New Brunswick road trip. 🙌
👇 Have you ever been to the Bay of Fundy? Were you as underwhelmed as I was at 10 years old? 😄

I’ll be honest, when I pulled up to @whispering_springs I didn’t know what to expect. I’d seen the photos, I’d read the website, but nothing really prepares you for the moment you walk into your safari tent and realize this might actually be nicer than your apartment.
We’re talking a king bed, more space than I expected, and an actual bathtub, in a tent. I took a bath. In the woods. And I would do it again without hesitation.
Oh and the s’mores bar? Someone thought really hard about what would make people unreasonably happy at the end of a summer night and they nailed it.
Save this for your summer planning because at 90 minutes from Toronto there is really no reason to wait.
Now tell me have you ever gone glamping? If not, what are you waiting for!

I have a theory about Ontarians. 🌲
We spend all year scrolling through photos of Tuscany villas and Bali resorts, convincing ourselves that a truly special stay requires a passport and a twelve-hour flight. And then we book a cookie-cutter hotel two hours from home and wonder why the trip felt a little flat.
Ontario has been quietly building some of the most creative, beautiful, and genuinely unexpected places to stay in the country. And most people have no idea they exist.
I’ve been collecting them for years. Some of them are deep in the woods. Some are closer than you’d think. Some will make you question why you ever booked anything else.
Scroll through and tell me which one is speaking to you, because I promise at least one of them is going to end up in your browser history before the day is over. 😄
Save this for your next Ontario getaway. 🙌
👇 Which one are you booking?

I’ve been taking the ferry to Wolfe Island on day trips for years. It’s one of those Kingston locals things that never gets old. But this time was different. This time I actually stayed.
And I am genuinely mad at myself for waiting this long.
@themullinhouse_ is a brand new Airbnb, as in I was the very first guest to try it, and it is something special. Five beautifully decorated bedrooms, sleeps ten, and the kind of character you only find in a home that has actual history behind it. Also, can we talk about that bath! Perfect for a girls’ weekend, a family trip or any group that deserves a proper getaway.
The ferry from Kingston runs throughout the day, it’s completely free whether you walk on or bring your car, and it takes about twenty minutes. No excuses not to go. And once you see that private dock at sunset you will immediately start rearranging your schedule to stay longer.
Being the first to stay somewhere this special felt like a privilege. And now I’m passing it on to you.
Don’t forget to save this, I promise you’ll to book it!
Now be honest, did you know you could have an island getaway right here in Ontario?
Thank you to @themullinhouse_ for having me!
