This website illuminates my life and adventures, focusing on five areas, Adventure, Love, Art & Music, Economy and Philosophy. To these five areas, I have purposefully dedicated my life. This notion emanated from my belief that the human experience is driven by five innate momentums: physical, sexual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. So, I desired to study, experience and understand these subjects, with the objective to understand not only the world around me, but to understand myself as well. Thus, these five areas of study match my innate momentums: adventure-physical, love-sexual , art & music-emotional, economy-intellectual, and philosophy-spiritual. This quest 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 with me to see the world as I see it, if you will be so kind. Join me in re-examining our world and our selves, to contemplate how we can move to make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Near the end of my 2010 walk across the South American Altiplano, I decided to do a night walk on the ridge that eventually led down towards San Lucas, a village in the mountains.

Latvia, Riga City Prov, Bottle Of Love - This is not an ordinary bottle of juice. I was with an extraordinarily beautiful woman, Claudina. You will meet her later. She was in love with me, to my amazement. Ten years earlier, I saw her for a moment. She was with her boyfriend. I asked her girlfriend if I could get her number. I wrote to her and called her but never reached her. Ten years later, I got an email from her. We traveled together. In a cafe in Riga, she explained to me why she loved an ordinary guy like me. She said it was not what was on the exterior, but what was on the inside, like that bottle in the photo, she said. The juice was delicious. I finally understood. Sort of.
