Michael’s easy going approach to life is the same way he approaches travel, which makes him a true Wanderer. Happy to explore a new neighborhood in a city he has already visited or see someplace completely new, Michael is happy as long as he is taking the time to just be somewhere else.
For Michael, travel is all about separating from the day to day structure and letting things come as they may. “For me, putting myself in a different physical space helps me to be as in touch with myself as I am with my surroundings. It’s more about getting back to myself than getting to a particular location.”

For Michael, packing is the last thing he thinks of before heading to the airport. More often than not, he is putting his suitcase together the night before! His head is filled with visions of where he is headed rather than what he is bringing with him. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t prepare – before a trip Michael is busy collecting advice on where to go, what to do and, most importantly, what to eat.
Enjoying some French cuisine!
Michael finds that his favorite parts of travel are the meals. Sitting in a café sampling local fare and watching the destination pass him by. Finding a local watering hole is a beloved activity and taking the time to find hidden gems is always a highlight for Michael. Making sure he has time to just wander and be in a destination is the most important thing.
