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.

IN, Riau Province, Batam, Tree, 2008, IMG_2236 - The island of Batam in Indonesia can be reached by ferry in 45 minutes from Singapore. The problem with Batam is the oil slicks that drive over from one of the largest oil processing places in the world, Jurong Island of Singapore. A dip in the water with your knees in the sand for a minute can result in thick black oil sludge sticking to one's body.
