I just went to Valentine’s in Niagara (VIN 2026) — one of Canada’s biggest swinger conventions / hotel takeovers — and it was my first full hotel takeover experience. I went with my partner, DJ Slim, and we recorded the full breakdown on my Sex and Swinging podcast, plus I filmed a vlog tour (as much as you’re allowed to film before the “phones away” rules kick in).

This post is the behind-the-scenes reality: what it felt like, what was there, what surprised me, what to pack, and why events like this are basically a Willy Wonka golden ticket for breaking into the swinger lifestyle (if you’re a couple or a single woman).
