This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom 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 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.

Mali, Mopti Area, Bozo Girl, 1987 - When I was in Mopti I hired a canoe to take me to an island in the middle of the Niger river. In 1987, the area around Mopti was still very old-world. The women were bare-breasted. I have always thought that women should not be restricted to wearing clothes to cover their breasts. It seems natural that they should be able to decide for themselves, and it it gives them more freedom and comfort not to wear a top, they should have that right. Wasn't it part of nature's plan that one should enjoy the beauty of women's bodies?
