Off Script:
Michael has lived in Thailand, traveled to over 20 countries, and probably made at least one questionable decision in each of them. He’s motorbiked through rainforests, gotten lost (on purpose) in waterfalls with no names, and once recorded an earthquake he was in—like a journalist, but for fun.
And oh—he makes an addictive marsala sauce from scratch.
