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.

Nepal, Wedding Dance, 1984 - A young woman, Gabrielle of New Zealand, invited me to go on a hike east of Katmandu. We fell in love on this trip and made a decision to meet in Africa a few months later, which we did. In the small mountain village of Kakani, we were lucky enough to see a traditional mountain wedding. They threw rice. After the ceremony, the husband carried the wife off on his back.
