About Michael Bauche

Hi there, I’m Michael Bauche.

All evidence suggests I was born under a wanderin’ star.

I am Engineer who became an explorer.

In 2012, I retired from professional engineering at the age of 44. Since that time I have been traveling and house sitting around the globe with my wife Yvonne.

My life philosophy is simple (but not necessarily easy):

“Discover what you really love to do

– then-

figure out a way to do more of it”

Thus far I have discovered a love for:

Travel (Applied Geography)

Cooking

The Internal Martial Arts – Tai Chi

Investing & Financial Independence

Photography

Life Long Learning

I seek opportunity … not security, I take calculated risks, I endeavour to think and act for myself, and enjoy the benefit of my actions.

In other words I take complete and full responsibility for every aspect of my life – marching to the beat of my own drum:

“So you’re a little weird? Work it!

A little different? OWN it!

Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!”
