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.

Montenegro, Farm House, 2003 - I drove by myself from Kosovo into Montenegro across a snowy pass. This farm house appeared as I came out of the mountains. On this trip in 2003, I completed my lifelong dream of going to every country. Now I am pursuing new dreams.

Uzbekistan, Kebab, Pork Right, 2002 - For a Muslim to voluntarily eat pork is unheard of. But when we were in Samarkand, our driver, Gani, sat down and had pork kebab. He said that he ate pork occasionally, and yet in every other way was a devout Muslim. This is an illustration that if you travel enough, you will see people living in every possible way.
Mauritius, Rock on Peak, 2002 - I was incredulous when I saw this distant pinnacle with a large boulder resting on its tip. I have never been able to find its name or any mention of it.
