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.

Walk Across the South American Altiplano 2010 – Part 6 - Waira Wasi to Libertador
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.
Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, Northern Lights Over New Strait, 2006 - The night of Sept 9, 2006 was the first time in my life I saw the Northern Lights. This incredible spectacle of nature mesmerized me, and I lost track of time, photographing it in freezing temperature, wearing tennis shoes in the snow. At first my feet were cold, but I soon forgot about that, so captivated was I. The strait forming the new island is just below in the foreground.
Vietnam, An Giang Prov, Cook Steam
Cameroon, Rumsiki, 1989 - I had heard about Rumsiki and so I aspired to go there. It was a long trip by local transportation, but worth it. I drank millet beer from gourd cups. The scenery was remarkable.
