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.

Congo Zaire, Colonel Ebeya Steamboat, 1984 - My girlfriend Gabrielle and I traveled by steamboat (the "Colonel Ebeya") down the Zaire (Congo) River in 1984. It was a eight day ride from Kisangani to Kinshasa. As the days went by, barges tied on to the main boat, creating a sort of convoy. It was a very interesting experience! I wrote, "The people sell and eat grubs on the boat. I saw two crocodiles on board as well. One man was skinning a monkey by singeing it?s hair and scraping."
