Hey all, I'm Michelle a photographer, filmmaker and former photography teacher!

I mostly shoot food and lifestyle you can see the latest drool worthy bites on my instagram here: @michellejarni

I’m also a total Japanophile, I studied Japanese all throughout highschool (for 6 years), I'm back learning again with hopes to move to Japan one day... I just want to eat all the sushi, every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like someone to share a drink with and have a conversation about something that challenges the both of us. Also a dance partner would be great 💃🏼

Interests

I absolutely love to dance, though as much as I enjoy a night out, I also enjoy taking it easy and going to a cafe to read a book. Right now I’m reading slaughterhouse 5 - trying to get through American classics! I love food and travel as most of my photography work is for restaurants and cafes. So bring on all the food porn!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything I can dance to. Guilty pleasures include 90s-00s rob and hip hop. Also, I'm a bit of a nerd at heart, sci-fi and animation are my favourites! Also down for some video games, who doesn’t love N64 classics?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India and made a feature length documentary about a family that has over 200 members.
