Hi, my name is Micheal; Originally from south africa; I’ve been living in the U.S. for a long time. I travel a lot–for my job as a journalist, and also just because I love the surprise of the unknown. I love to learn about new places, people and cultures. I’m the father of a grown son who is off at college. I like to be in harmony with the world around me. Wow, that sounds new age, but I’m very down to earth 😉 I like to read a lot and keep up with many things–politics, social issues, culture, travels, people. I especially value humor, being able to laugh at yourself, being able to communicate, culture in general, social issues, staying healthy, and the freedom to think out of the box.
