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.

Bhutan, Tigers Nest Temple,1999 - This famous temple in Bhutan is reachable by foot a few hours from the road. After a steep walk up the mountain, I was told that it was not possible to enter it. But as I progressed further toward it, I found in fact that I could go inside the outer buildings. It is picturesque but suffers from a lack of isolation in the true sense. The ambiance is affected by its fame. Its proper name is Paro Taktsang.
