Meet Chrissy...
Chrissy is a proud member of Long Lake #58 First Nation in Ontario, with a mix of Anishinaabe and European heritage. She was born and raised in Northern Manitoba on Treaty 5 Territory, where she enjoyed her childhood in the thick boreal forest fishing, hunting, swimming, and creating cherished memories with family and friends. This vibrant community and nature focused childhood drives her passion for focusing on the indigenous tourism industry as she works diligently to enhance the online presence of small northern tourism businesses.
As Chrissy has always had a passion for travel, tourism, and taking the road less travelled, this unsurprisingly has led her to flourish in a nomadic lifestyle where she works remotely for her clients. This nomadic curiosity allowed her to travel across Turtle Island (North America) in a self-converted Sprinter van. With every mile, she immerses herself in the changing landscapes, and diverse cultures, all while continuing to work hard for her clients. Whether she's parked by a ridiculously-gorgeous lake in Ontario, atop a dessert mountain in Arizona, under the spectacular northern lights in the NWT, or chasing whales and bird colonies along a coastline, Chrissy embraces the freedom of the open road, a balanced work life and fulfills her wanderlust seamlessly.
Fun Fact : Chrissy's first tourism client was gained when she approached Clint of Nelson River Adventures with a barter system offer of 'two tour tickets for a new and revamped website' trade. She was ecstatic when Clint replied with 'Sounds good! '. The website was completely redesigned on a new platform (WIX) and launched in under 2 months. Chrissy than offered 4 months of content creation service for FB & IG in exchange for a third ticket... and thankfully Clint agreed. The York Factory Boat Tour with NelsonRiverAdventures.com was absolutely incredible (she took two of her sisters). Clint and Chrissy have been happily working together for nearly 4 years. This goes to show that you never do know what can unfold when you take a little leap of faith by hitting send on an email.
Smiling Fox Marketing is owned and operated by Chrissy Barbeau.
Northern Manitoba, Treaty 5 Territory, is her home base.
