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, Dobje Prov, Blowbrush
Netherlands, Windmill, 1990.jpg - Holland is known for its windmills. Yet, I was disappointed to find that in most places, there were none at all.
Nepal, Porters, 1983 - This photo, taken on my walk back from Lukla to Jiri, depicts the life of the porters in Nepal. Unlike Sherpas basking in the glory of Everest expeditions, the common porter's life is a hard one, with poor pay and long hours of back-breaking work.
Bangladesh, Gazipur Prov, Boat
India, Rajasthan Family, 1984 - Judith and I slept in the small roofed structure on the left in this photograph, known as a 'de-la'. Water pipes, used to smoke tobacco, sit on the ground in front of the de-la.
Philippines, Kalinga Prov, Tree And Car
UK, Calderdale Prov, Post Box
Singapore, View, 2003 - I didn't much like Singapore the first ten times I went there. Now I love it. It is safe. They do not allow billboards. There is no grafitti. I stay at a place on Robertson Quay (pronounced "key") that has no traffic. I can run along the canals.
