Mike with CamelMichael Yaeger grew up in Northern California, has lived in Colorado, Southern Germany, Maine and currently resides in Vermont, with his wife and two Labrador Retrievers.  Having always had a strong wanderlust, he's traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America, as well as exploring Latin America, Africa, Asia and the South Pacific.   Living in Vermont is perfect for short trips to explore the Northeastern United States and the Quebec and Ontario provinces of Canada right across the border, although he still manages to fit in a couple of more exotic destinations each year as well. Always an independent traveler, his journeys focus on slow travel, cultural experiences and natural beauty, from regional cuisine and cooking, to hiking and kayaking adventures, to partying with the locals.  A devout environmentalist, his travels try to incorporate vegetarianism, local products and services, and sustainable travel practices wherever possible.
