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.

Turkey, Kastamonu Province, Couple - December 5, 2009 - At about 11 p.m. we entered into Kastamonu province. We went into a small tea shop at about midnight. The proprietor and his wife were very friendly and posed for photos. They were clearly very happy. This is the dream of so many people, to be in love for as long as they live. A beautiful sight.

Papua New Guinea, Huli Wigmen with Woman, 1983 - This photograph was taken on my first day in Koroba, Papua New Guinea. The Koroba wigmen were friendly; here, they pose with a woman. The Huli wigmen were among the most colorful, imaginative people on earth. They were truly living art. (See other photos, including those in my 1983 journal.)
