🌞 Always turn your
Face towards the Sun
From Canadian winters to forever Summer dreams — I’ve built a life where the sunshine never ends, and I help others do the same.
🌞 Always turn your
🌞 The Heart of Summer
I’ve always believed that Summer isn’t just a season — it’s a lifestyle.
That warm, free, barefoot state of mind where colour, sunshine, and possibility surround you. You can do anything.
Growing up in Canada, I learned early that I was not made for cold weather. While other kids built snowmen, I was dreaming of Greek islands, turquoise water, and endless sun. My family spent Summers on the Mediterranean and I knew this way the life and pace that made for a happy life. Years later, that dream became my reality but in the South Pacific — and eventually, my business.
🌞 Building my first Dream
After years of working, traveling and dreaming, I launched Burlington Beach Rentals ( now Ontario Staycation Adventures) in 2013 — a little slice of paradise on my hometown beach where locals could live like they were on vacation.
Paddleboards, yoga, massages, full moon events — it became a joyful community of people reconnecting with Summer, one paddle at a time.
That business taught me how powerful it is to create spaces where people feel alive again. I carried this into the creation of Take me to Summer and continued to bring experiences that combined nature and love of the water.
And while this chapter evolved greatly over 12 years its spirit continues to shape everything I do today.
🌞 Chasing Endless Summer
The off-seasons became my invitation to wander.
I began traveling for months at a time, discovering how to stretch budgets, chase good weather, and create a life that felt free — not just on vacation, but always.
From the jungles of Costa Rica to the beaches of Indonesia, I fell in love with living slowly, intentionally, and in rhythm with the sun.
Now, I call Providencia, Colombia home for most of the year — a small, magical island that perfectly captures what “Take Me to Summer” is all about: connection, simplicity, and joy.
Take Me to Summer — My New Chapter
Today, Take Me to Summer brings together everything I love:
☀️ Slow travel and authentic experiences
🌴 Helping others find their version of paradise
