Our Story

Christina Yu

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Christina was drawn to the outdoors as a young adult and would escape the city to learn animal tracking in Algonquin Park. As her tracking skills developed, she discovered the hidden traces of nature within urban spaces and led groups around parks and ravines in Toronto to spot turtles, butterflies, deer and other wildlife.

Christina earned a double major in classical civilizations and medieval studies from the University of Toronto. After graduation, she worked at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, where she built a strong foundation in public service and communication. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everyone's lives, Christina decided it was time to pursue a long-time dream and moved to Newfoundland to start a career centered on helping others better understand and connect with their surroundings.

In 2022, Christina began guiding in Gros Morne National Park, introducing travelers to the region's cultural history, geology and ecology. She enjoys sharing the story of the park's unique landscapes, from the forces of plate tectonics that shaped western Newfoundland to the boreal forests and coastal environments that support its wildlife. She now also leads polar bear expeditions in Churchill, Manitoba, the Polar Bear Capital of the World. Known for her energy, humor and enthusiasm, she is passionate about making wildlife, culture and natural history engaging and accessible for travelers.

Christina has more than 15 years of experience as a karate instructor and holds a fourth-degree black belt and the teaching title of Renshi. Active in her community, she volunteers her time and remains committed to education, mentorship and lifelong learning.
