The friend you text when planning a trip to Northern Ontario. I am fortunate to love what I do.

Being a Digital Marketer and providing Online Business Management Services allows me to help my clients succeed, and thrilled when my skill set and background can make the difference they need to achieve real results.
​
I help eCommerce and Online Business Owners organize, systematize and strategically plan their online business through marketing, sales and business strategies. I want to be that person who pushes you, challenges you, and helps you scale up your business. There is nothing comfortable about growing a business, and sometimes you need that extra set of hands to help.

What challenges are you currently experiencing?
​
Think of me as an extension of your business - a small project can make a huge impact and difference on what is next to come. Are you tired of constantly struggling to do work on every part of your business? The burnout is real, those doubts are unnecessary, and you deserve to be able to provide your best.

these views never disappoint 😍

✅SAVE this post for your FALL HIKING

Cup and Saucer Trail — Manitoulin Island
🥾 12 km round trip, out & back
One of those hikes that makes the climb worth it to the incredible views over Manitoulin.

Ruby Lake Provincial Park — Nipigon
🌿 4 km, out & back
A bit of a drive and off-grid, but the climb is so worth it. Solitude, peaceful lake views, and a quiet escape from it all.

Helenbar Lookout — Elliot Lake
👀 7.2 km loop / out & back
Not a quick one, but the climb and winding forest trails lead to a lookout that makes the effort feel tiny in comparison.

The Crack — Killarney Provincial Park
🧗‍♀️ 6 km out & back
Challenging, rocky, and absolutely iconic, the climb is tough (and difficult for those with short legs lol), but the turquoise views at the top are next-level.

K**a Cliffs — Nipigon
⛰️ 4 km out & back
Quiet, underrated, and one of those trails that makes you stop and stare, literally. The opportunity to watch the train go by Lake Superior.

Robertson Cliffs — Goulais River
🪨 7 km out & back
What a view! Highly recommend hiking in the fall for all the colours. Offering a steady climb with multiple lookouts that somehow keep getting better as you go.

Nokomis Lookout — Lake Superior Provincial Park
🌲 4 km out & back
A shorter hike that brings you to a view that really shows off how massive and dramatic the Superior coastline is.

Aubrey Falls — Algoma County
💧 3 km out & back
More about the journey than the elevation, quiet forest paths, river views, and one of my favourite waterfalls

Top of the Giant — Sleeping Giant Provincial Park
🏔️ 22 km round trip, out & back
A full-day adventure, but one of the most iconic viewpoints in Ontario (start early and pack a lunch!)

Awausee Trail — Lake Superior Provincial Park
🍃 8 km loop
One of the hardest hikes in Lake Superior Provincial Park, but the views and sense of accomplishment are unmatched. Tough climb, epic payoff.

off-grid fall cabin weekend? 🍂

Yes please 😍

Tucked deep into the Algoma backcountry, this off-grid cabin from Northern Skies Resort | Ecotourism Destination is one of those stays where getting there is part of the adventure.

You’ll hike and paddle your way in before spending the weekend surrounded by the forest, with natural caves, incredible lookouts, a sandy beach and your own wood-burning sauna waiting back at the cabin.

No neighbours. No busy campground. Just a REALLY beautiful cabin in the middle of the backcountry and plenty of reasons to stay outside all day.

If you’re an experienced hiker, camper or backcountry explorer looking for a different way to experience fall in Northern Ontario, I’d put this one on the list. 🍂

📍 Northern Skies Resort | Ecotourism Destination | Algoma Country

Would you hike + paddle for a cabin weekend like this?

AND an amazing Fall destination 🍂🥾

I spent a weekend hiking around and can confidently say I’ll be back, there’s so much to explore! I left feeling like I barely scratched the surface.

Haliburton is home to some of the most beautiful hikes in Ontario, and with happening September 17–20, this feels like the perfect excuse to plan a fall hiking weekend.

If you’re looking for a new place to hike and explore this fall, add a weekend in Haliburton to the calendar.

YES, you read that right

I 100% planned it this way 😂

If you’ve been thinking about trying it, here’s where I’d start:

✓ Pick a campground close to home

✓ Book a site closer to amenities for your first trip

✓ Keep your first trip short! even one night counts!

✓ Plan a few things you’re excited to do: hike, paddle, read, colour, explore

✓ Bring food that’s easy to make

✓ Tell someone where you’re camping + when you’ll be home

✓ And remember: being alone doesn’t mean being lonely.

📍 René Brunelle Provincial Park

absolutely in my top 10 😍

Robertson Cliffs is easily one of my favourite hikes in Northern Ontario (and trust me you need to hike in the summer and fall)

Approx 5km loop, and remember to save this one for your fall hiking list📍

The trails are cared for by the Algoma Highlands Conservancy and even a small donation helps maintain and protect them for future adventures 🫶🏻

where’s my fellow explorers!?

There’s something about an Ontario summer that makes it so easy to choose outside.

That’s why ESKA has become one of the first things I grab before heading out the door.

Naturally filtered Canadian spring water that’s joined me on hikes, lake days, road trips, camping, and all the little adventures in between.

Here’s to making the most of every last sunny day, and choosing outside a little more often so you can follow your true nature.

How are you choosing outside this summer?

08/25/2026

trust me when I say you need to make the stop 🥾

📍 K**a Cliffs | approx 7.5km

Located about 24 km east of Nipigon along Highway 17, the trail climbs through the forest before opening up to THE MOST spectacular + panoramic views over K**a Point, Nipigon Bay and Lake Superior.

One of my favourite lookouts in Northern Ontario 😍

Save K**a Cliffs for your next North Shore road trip📍

Don’t put your camping stuff away yet⛺️

There’s still time for one more camping trip, EXPERIENCE LAKE SUPERIOR!

🌊 Pancake Bay Provincial Park: THE BEACH. More than 3 km of sand, that ridiculously blue Lake Superior water, and the Edmund Fitzgerald Lookout Trail for a panoramic view.

🥾 Lake Superior Provincial Park: waterfront campsites PLUS 12+ of hiking trails, waterfalls, beaches, rugged coastline and some seriously incredible Lake Superior views.

🎨 Neys Provincial Park: One of my favourites for combining history, hiking AND beach days. It has a beautiful 2 km sandy beach, plus you can hike to the Pic Island Overlook and see the landscape that inspired Group of Seven painter Lawren Harris.

🌈Rainbow Falls Provincial Park: Choose this one if you want a little bit of everything. Hike alongside the cascading Rainbow Falls, get views over Lake Superior and camp along the rugged Lake Superior shoreline at Rossport.

⛰️ Sleeping Giant Provincial Park: This one’s for the HIKING. There are more than 100 km of trails, with everything from geological features like the Sea Lion to the huge Lake Superior views from Top of the Giant and Thunder Bay Lookout.

Five parks.
Five completely different reasons to go.
And a pretty convincing argument for squeezing in one more camping trip before the season ends. 👀⛺️

Which one are you choosing?
