This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Burkina Faso, Peul Girl With Child, 1987 - I traveled by road across part of Burkina Faso, formerly Upper Volta. This woman amazed me with her pyramid-shaped coiffeur. It is very much in the shape of a cassowary's horn.
PH, North Cotabato Province, Bridge To Cotabato City, 2008, IMG_9130 - On the left is Cotabato City. I was told it was dangerous, but I felt like it was no differenent than any other place.
Papua New Guinea, Clear Water, 1983 - This photograph shows the remarkable cleanliness of the streams in the forests of New Guinea. Though I drank freely from the steams at virtually every opportunity, I never got sick from doing so.
