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.

Jordan, Petra, 1984 - I visited Petra after spending a rather anxious weekend in an Aqaba jail for failure to have my passport. (My passport was being held at the Egyptian embassy, awaiting a visa.) I hitchhiked back to Amman, stopping in Petra on the way. Entire buildings are carved into rock cliffs. This building is known as The Treasury. Petra is reminiscent of Cappadocia to the north in Turkey.
Pakistan, Forty-Eight Hour Bus Ride From Quetta To Iran Border, 1984 - Armed with my Iranian visa, I set off from Dehi towards Egypt. In Quetta, Pakistan I caught a bus ride that lasted forty-eight hours and landed me at the border with Iran.
