Sometimes, the people we meet during our travels leave an impression deeper than the destinations themselves. In Montreal, that person was Misha, an inspiring entrepreneur who juggled multiple roles to not only carve out her path but also make a real difference in her community.
We met Misha through an Airbnb Experience, and before the tour even began, it was clear we were in for more than just a walk through Montreal’s famed Underground City. Misha epitomizes a modern entrepreneur: driven, resourceful, and deeply connected to her city. Her hustle is as multifaceted as her personality. Beyond her work as a tour guide, Misha bartends, leads pub pedal cart tours, and runs her relocation service to help immigrants navigate life in Montreal.
Relocation services are a true labor of love for Misha. She assists people immigrating to Canada, helping them find housing, navigate government paperwork, and ease into an entirely new culture. This isn’t just about logistics—it’s about making them feel welcome. As someone who knows her city deeply, Misha’s hands-on support ensures newcomers get the tools they need to feel at home in Montreal. Misha’s heart is as big as her work ethic.
Even during our tour, Misha’s natural curiosity about us shone through. You can’t fake that kind of authentic interest in people. She wanted to hear our stories just as much as she wanted to share her own, and we quickly learned how her entrepreneurial spirit is woven into everything she does.
It turns out, the day she gave us our tour was also her birthday—a perfect illustration of her constant hustle. Rather than taking the day off, she was out sharing her city with visitors. Yet, her warmth and energy made it feel like we were the ones celebrating something special.
Montreal’s Underground City was just one chapter in Misha’s story—the tour itself was engaging, insightful, and packed with fun facts about this unique urban feat. But what stood out most wasn’t a particular tunnel or landmark; it was Misha’s drive to build an independent life while giving back to her community. She’s an entrepreneur who isn’t just working for herself—she’s working to create connections, bridge cultures, and leave her imprint on Montreal and beyond.
