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.

Congo Zaire, Mt. Hoyo Waterfall, 1984 - My girlfriend Gabrielle and I took an excursion to Mt. Hoyo in eastern Zaire partly because we were told there was a beautiful waterfall here. It was beautiful but small. More interesting were the pygmies.

Nepal, Katmandu, Dog In Bag, 1984 - During a return visit to Katmandu after a journey on foot from Jaipur to Agra, I became interested in the woman who's dog is in her bag. I never actually consummated my relationship with the woman, having been invited by Gabrielle on a trek in Tarke Gyang and subsequently falling in love with her.
