About me
Growing up in a small lobster fishing town on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, I headed to the big city for my university education, intent on pursuing a career in dentistry. But after taking a summer job as a tour guide, my heart pulled me in another direction and I haven’t looked back! I am lucky to be a born and raised native of Nova Scotia and even luckier to show off my special part of the world to others!

About me
I'm from the land with ties in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. 350,000 km² of pure nature, where immense lakes reflect the horizon, where rivers trace their path through the wild vastness, where the forest stretches as far as the eye can see, sheltering fascinating wildlife and flora.
Here, Cree and Jamesian communities live in harmony with a grandiose territory, vibrant with traditions and stories. They invite you to meet and share, to an adventure where every moment becomes an unforgettable discovery.
Where the earth still breathes to the rhythm of the wind.
Where water dances under skies of a thousand lights.
Where infinity takes root.
A place where we slow down, where we listen, where we rediscover what's essential.
Eeyou Istchee Baie-James: a world that's truly surreal.

Do you feel like escaping into the vast boreal forest, diving deeper into Québec’s history, experiencing art and culture, and drawing inspiration from Indigenous traditions—all on a road trip through a region with over 22,000 lakes and rivers?

When I’m not coordinating press trips or dreaming up memorable media experiences, you’ll likely find me wandering through an art gallery, browsing local thrift shops, or reading in a cozy independent café. I’m always up for discovering authentic places, offbeat venues, or simply walking for hours to explore a new neighbourhood — ideally with a top-notch micro-roasted coffee in hand.

About me
*Current partners - Please see below*
Hi, I’m Felix Contant, and I lead new partnerships at Stay22. My focus is on helping creators and publishers monetize their content using simple AI tools that effectively reduce their workload—without compromising content or user experience.
I come from a background in hospitality, and I see every partnership as a two-way conversation. I’m not here to sell—I’m here to listen, advise, and find what actually works for you. If we cross paths at TBEX, I’d love to connect, swap ideas, or just chat about where the industry’s headed (or wine—always wine).
**If you’re already partnered with us, feel free to book time directly with our Account Manager, Macey McWhorter, for anything support- or strategy-related.**

Whether building a content strategy, coordinating a media partnership, or supporting a local FAM tour, my goal is to keep Kelowna top of mind as a vibrant and welcoming destination.
- About Kelowna -
Tucked in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, this four-season playground blends shimmering lakes, rolling vineyards, and farm-to-table flavours with unbeatable outdoor adventure. Sip award-winning wines, cycle scenic trails, hike to panoramic views, and savour sun-soaked patios, all at your own pace.
We acknowledge that Kelowna is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the syilx/Okanagan people, stewards of this land since time immemorial.
Come for the flavours, stay for the stories. In Kelowna, every visit is a fresh chapter.

About me
Growing up in a small lobster fishing town on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, I headed to the big city for my university education, intent on pursuing a career in dentistry. But after taking a summer job as a tour guide, my heart pulled me in another direction and I haven’t looked back! I am lucky to be a born and raised native of Nova Scotia and even luckier to show off my special part of the world to others!

Adventure in nature, roadtrip, history, art and culture
About me
Do you feel like escaping into the vast boreal forest, diving deeper into Québec’s history, experiencing art and culture, and drawing inspiration from Indigenous traditions—all on a road trip through a region with over 22,000 lakes and rivers?
It’s time for us to connect!
As the Public Relations Officer for Tourisme Abitibi-Témiscamingue, I build bridges between content creators, media professionals, and a vast, captivating region. Passionate about well-crafted stories and meaningful collaborations, I put my heart into showcasing the territory — one pitch at a time.
When I’m not coordinating press trips or dreaming up memorable media experiences, you’ll likely find me wandering through an art gallery, browsing local thrift shops, or reading in a cozy independent café. I’m always up for discovering authentic places, offbeat venues, or simply walking for hours to explore a new neighbourhood — ideally with a top-notch micro-roasted coffee in hand.

About me
I'm from the land with ties in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. 350,000 km² of pure nature, where immense lakes reflect the horizon, where rivers trace their path through the wild vastness, where the forest stretches as far as the eye can see, sheltering fascinating wildlife and flora.
Here, Cree and Jamesian communities live in harmony with a grandiose territory, vibrant with traditions and stories. They invite you to meet and share, to an adventure where every moment becomes an unforgettable discovery.
Where the earth still breathes to the rhythm of the wind.
Where water dances under skies of a thousand lights.
Where infinity takes root.
A place where we slow down, where we listen, where we rediscover what's essential.
Eeyou Istchee Baie-James: a world that's truly surreal.
