Mini bio
How it started.
Before creating travel films, Michaela worked in strategy consulting. In her own account, a brain injury at 28 during the pandemic changed that path. Skating and sharing moments in nature became part of starting again.
From Switzerland to wild ice.
Born and raised in Switzerland, she describes herself as a mountain girl with a love of photography, figure skating and sustainability. Her Lonely Planet work includes guides to Zurich, while her own blog ranges from winter destinations to travel itineraries.
The films fans follow.
Frozen Wonders follows her onto natural ice in Alaska, Switzerland, Canada and Siberia. The films combine skating with the journey there, local encounters and the search for suitable ice. The International Skating Union supported the Alaska and Alberta episodes.
Beyond the lakes.
She also brought viewers behind the scenes of the ISU Skate To Milano qualifying competition in Behind the Ice. In 2025, she won the Travel category at the Swiss Influence Award.
