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.

Papua New Guinea, Tree Kangaroo, 1983 - Among the many surprising sights that I saw in New Guinea was the tree kangaroo. Here, one wrestles with a dog, while children look on delighted. I didn?t even know that such a creature existed. I suppose in truth it is a form of possum.

India, Varanasi, Burning Ghats, 1984 - I marveled at the Burning Ghats of Varanasi. It was first time I witnessed cremation. I was forbidden by the locals to take a picture from here. They said if it was night, they would throw me off the balcony. As I went to leave they said I could take just one photo and then I could never come back. In the top of the photograph is the Ganges, the Holy River of India.
