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.

Iraq, Barf Detergent, 2000 - One of the examples of the sort of cross cultural marketing anomalies they talked about in business school. This Russian made detergent in sale in Iraq was apparently acceptable to the Iraqis. But to sell a laundry detergent called Barf in an English-speaking country probably would not go over too well. Barf, at least in American slang, means vomit.
