Quotations:
"I switched to travel writing because I love seeing new places, and because it’s a lot easier to get interviews with people who are anxious to talk."
"If I want to learn about someone I am unfamiliar with, I’ll first read a biography written for a young adult audience rather than one written for adults since I’m more likely to get a basic factual outline of the person’s life."
Michael Schuman married Patti Jensen, a registered dietitian. The couple has three children: Kelila (deceased), Trisha, Alexandra.
