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, Kostel, Girl With Flowers In Rain, 2006 - On my Spring 2006 trip to Slovenia, I went to every one of 193 obcina (or municipal districts) in Slovenia, my grandparent's homeland. Kostel Obcina was one of the more out-of-the-way places to visit. I was walking to a high point lookout, as mists, clouds and sunlight moved across the sky, slithering into the crevices and valleys. A big rain came, I hurried to the top, then walked back. Here, a girl, still wet from the rain, walks with flowers.
