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.

Turkey, Mt Nemrud, 1984 - One of the most interesting historical sites I have seen is Mount Nemrud in central Turkey. One of the things that made is so fascinating was that it was out of the way, a place I had never heard of. Gigantic heads of Greek gods lay on the ground, fallen from their original position atop the stone bodies to which they belonged.
Papua New Guinea, Hut, 1983 - The roof of this low-lying hut is covered using the bark of trees.

Kosovo, Riding The Back Of The Truck, 2003 - I drove across Kosovo to Montenegro in a car rented from Serbia. I didn't realize until someone told me that it was a bit dangerous to drive around with Serbian license plates, given recent history. Here a man rides the back of a truck. My feeling in Kosovo was one of restrained sadness.
