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.

Slovenia, Ptuj Province, Bicyclist, 2006, IMG_4868 - Ptuj is a town that would appeal to the Western sensibility.
Seram, Pisang Bakar, 2006 - Pisang Bakar means Grilled Banana. This species of banana in Seram can be simply thrown into the fire, then eaten, once cooked. It tasted like warm pudding. For days I had felt drained from the exertion of walking in the rain forest. But after eating this, I felt reinvigorated.

Slovenia, Skofljica Prov, Rain Gutter
DK, Greenland, Kaffeklubben And Camp 2 Site After Losing Tent, 2007, IMG_3770 - The tent fell off the pack on the way to Camp 2. John Richardson and I left on our own. We spotted the rest of the group trying to put up the tent. Kaffeklubben Island, the official northermost point of land in the world appears in the distance as a hill, about one kilometer off the north coast of Greenland, which ends just beyond the tent.
