Beschreibung

Hi, I’m Michelle — a Master’s student in Computer Science in Montreal 🇨🇦. I was born and raised in Toronto, but I often work remotely as a programmer and researcher focused on climate and sustainability.

I love meaningful conversations, learning from people, and discovering local culture through food, dance, and nature. My hobbies include salsa and bachata, rock climbing, acroyoga, hiking, and photography — anything that connects nature, movement, art, and community.

At the moment, I’m focusing on learning Portuguese and I’m especially excited about traveling in Brazil — exploring its nature, food, beaches, forró and sertaneja music, and connecting with the rock climbing and acroyoga communities there.

I’ve been lucky to travel widely — from hiking in the Himalayas to backpacking across Europe, visiting family in China, and cat-sitting in Bulgaria. I’ve spent time on exchange in Norway and with my host family in Germany, and have traveled through Morocco, Rwanda, Tanzania, Mexico, and the U.S. A lot of my travel combines research conferences, rock climbing, cultural exchange, and acroyoga festivals — it’s how I learn best about people and places. If you ever visit Montreal or Toronto, I’d be glad to host you back or help you settle in!

I’m a professional pet and house sitter (Rover-certified, with references), and I love caring for animals and shared spaces with the same respect I’d offer my own home. I’ve also hosted travelers in Montreal, so I understand what it takes to make someone feel welcome.

Whether it’s helping out with chores, photography, digital tasks, or cooking a shared meal, or exchanging languages, I love contributing wherever I can and creating genuine connections along the way.

Happy to practice English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and potentially Mandarin / Cantonese and Japanese.

Was noch ...

I love learning new things and connecting with people through shared activities — especially movement-based or circus (acrobatics, pole, hoop) anything from board games, chess, to a walk outdoors or a cooking night. I enjoy photography, music, saunas, beaches, and exploring local cafés, and I’m always happy to trade recipes, playlists, or travel stories.

I like spending time in nature — whether hiking, swimming, or spotting wild mushrooms — and I’m equally happy with quiet evenings reading or journaling. I appreciate both lively community spaces and peaceful, reflective moments, and I try to bring a curious, and authentic energy wherever I go.
