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, Huli Wigmen with Woman, 1983 - This photograph was taken on my first day in Koroba, Papua New Guinea. The Koroba wigmen were friendly; here, they pose with a woman. The Huli wigmen were among the most colorful, imaginative people on earth. They were truly living art. (See other photos, including those in my 1983 journal.)

Greenland, Stray Dog West Aerial July 16, 2007 - Four days after the discovery of Stray Dog West on foot, we flew over the island on the way back to Norway. This is the new northernmost point of land in the world. It is north of Kaffeklubben. It is now an official place on Shea's Register of the World.
