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.

Namibia, Himba Mother and Child Standing, 2000 - This woman was one of the first Himba we saw. She came walking out of the forest with her child. Her gentle demeanor impressed me. She had a classically beautiful face.
