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.

PNG, Egg And Tilot Non, 1983 - I was stuck in the remote village of Wava in the Highlands of New Guinea with no one to take me to the next village, Duranmin, five days away on foot. Tilot Non spoke some English and offered to help. He, Hapom and Teleng brought me across little-traveled rain forest successfully to Duranmin. Here, Tilot holds a bird egg that they found and we ate. They found several such eggs, buried in large mounds of earth.
