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.

My 39-day Walk Out of the Highlands of New Guinea is shown in red on the map. The solid red represents 29 days on foot. The red/yellow band indicates the 10-day portion of the journey down the Frieda and Sepik Rivers on a raft made of logs tied together with “canta” (jungle vine).”
Slovenia, Tisina, Bug, 2006 - I took this photograph during a short stop in Tisina Obcina. This girl was fascinated by a small bug on her hand.
