This website illuminates my life and adventures, focusing on five areas, Adventure, Love, Art & Music, Economy and Philosophy. To these five areas, I have purposefully dedicated my life. This notion emanated from my belief that the human experience is driven by five innate momentums: physical, sexual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. So, I desired to study, experience and understand these subjects, with the objective to understand not only the world around me, but to understand myself as well. Thus, these five areas of study match my innate momentums: adventure-physical, love-sexual , art & music-emotional, economy-intellectual, and philosophy-spiritual. This quest 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 with me to see the world as I see it, if you will be so kind. Join me in re-examining our world and our selves, to contemplate how we can move to make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Greenland, North Greenland Mountains, 2007 - The landscapes in North Greenland, as you can see, are marvelllous. For one thing, the air is clearer than any you might ever see elsewhere. One of the consequences of this is that things that look close may be quite far away. In fact, on our North Greenland Euro-American Expedition, most of the expedition was always in sight of a certain mountain range. No matter where we walked, it seemed - at least most of the time - it was visible. This photograph is taken quite near the most northerly land in the world. Here I am only a few kilometers from the sea ice near Kaffeklubben and Stray Dog West.

As we were standing on the blackened lava, we heard cracking. Then small rivulets of lava began trickling out. Alarmed, I asked Nagar and Ken if it was dangerous. Nagar said, “No problem. We come out here all the time.”
