He usually initiates contact, should I email him?

A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

A relative gave my email address to this guy (lives in the US) sometime in July and since then we have been exchanging emails occasionally. Last December, I went to the US for a holiday and we agreed to meet up. We went to see a movie and had dinner, watched a concert, watched a soccer game live and even showed me around the city. In my 4-week US holiday, we met up 3 times and in all those meetings, he paid for the meals and tickets. On our last date before I returned to Europe, after dropping me off to my relative's house he hugged me and gave me a box of chocolate. He also sent me an email wishing me a safe trip home and asking me to keep in touch. About five days after I arrived home, he emailed me asking how are things going and I emailed him back the following day. It has been two weeks since I responded to his email and since then I haven't heard from him again. Is it alright if I email him and ask how he's doing or should I just wait for him to email me? In the past it was always him who initiates the first contact.
