This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

France, Carcassonne, 2003 - When I saw Carcassonne for the first time, I was amazed. I stopped at the foot of a bridge to take this photograph. Carcassonne is most probably the most well-preserved, functioning medieval city in the world. Even though I had traveled for thirty years, I didn't know Carcassonne even existed till 2003. This reinforced my belief that the world is immense and there is no way to even approach seeing it all.
