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.

Papua New Guinea, Sam With New Raft, 1983 - Sam was a native of Ok Esai, a village near the Frieda River. I was told that the men of Ok Esai knew how to build rafts. True to their reputation, Sam went into the forest with an ax and rode up an hour or so later on this raft.
