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.

Argentina, Jujuy Prov, Night Walk On Way To San Lucas - Near the end of my 2010 walk across the South American Altiplano, I decided to do a night walk on the ridge which eventually led down towards San Lucas, a village in the mountains. I traveled for some distance until I finally found a place on the side of the path. About two days later, I reached civilization as we know it.
