Michael Bergen - The Rutherford Chronicles

Born in England and raised in Canada, Michael has spent his adult life in Europe and South Africa. Michael’s father was a Canadian soldier who met his wife, an English girl, in Croydon, south of London during World War II.

Michael emigrated to Montreal, Quebec, with his mother when the war ended, and there he grew up. After a stint in the military and his university studies, Michael spent a year back in Croydon, worked in London and explored the UK with his wife. He then moved to Heidelberg, Germany, where he worked in medical research, learnt German and explored Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Austria and northern Italy for seven years. Afterwards he spent three years working in Paris and got to know most of France and Spain. Following another stint in Germany, Michael moved with his family to Johannesburg, South Africa. He travelled the length and breadth of Africa’s southern tip from South Africa to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Lesotho, Swaziland (now Eswatini) and Mozambique. Up to now, Michael has visited more than 44 countries, 300 cities and countless towns and villages worldwide.
