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.

Central African Republic, Carrying Baskets, 2000 - I was surprised to see these women on the road on the way back from Bayanga to Bangui. They had a distinctly Indian flair. All were black African, it appears, with the exception of the woman with the white bowl. She probably descends from the Indian subcontinent.

Papua New Guinea, Wava, 1983 - This is the village of Wava just northwest of Tekap. I woke up in the morning and everything was veiled in mist.
China, Expedition At Lake, 1998 - When we came up from the Kazakhstan-Chinese border climbing to plateau on the way to Urumqi, we spent the night at this wonderful lake. We were on our way to Everest Base camp from St. Petersburg, Russia. This is a photo of the expedition Tibet 98. One of our member went scuba diving in the lake.
