About Me

My photo
Eugene
Hi! My name is Eugene W. Carmichael. I was born before the World Wide Web was even an idea, on the beautiful island of Bermuda, located 650 miles (1,046 kilometres) off the American east coast of North Carolina in the Atlantic Ocean. Together with my two brothers and four sisters we grew up in near fantasy-like conditions. We had palms trees, crystal blue oceans and sunny skies, pink sandy beaches and loads of room to roam. I have tried my hand at many things in my life, and currently I am a serious and syndicated columnist writing on lifestyle and motoring matters.
