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.

Slovenia, Obcina Piran, Snail On Grass Stalk, 2006 - As we drove across Slovenia, I became fascinated by the Little World. I realized that everywhere beauty surrounded me, even amidst the seemingly non-descript and uninteresting. This miniature snail was an example, clinging to a slender stalk of grass off the side of a busy road to the coast.
