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.

Greenland, Warming Island, off coast of Liverpool Land, The Team of (L to R) John Rudolph, John Collins Rudolph, Dennis Schmitt, Eric Ristau, and Jeff Shea, 2006 - Left to right are John Rudolph, his son, John Collins Rudolph, Dennis Schmitt (the discoverer of Warming Island), Eric Ristau (the expedition's film maker) and myself, Jeff Shea. Behind and below us in the distance is the strait forming the new island. The continuity of the waterway is visually interrupted by the mountain forming the three pinnalced peaks above John Rudolph's head, but the waterway itself is continuous.
Ireland, Road To McGillicuddy Reeks, 1988 - The highest mountains in Ireland are called McGillicuddy Reeks, and of course I was compelled to at least go and take a look at them, one misty morning.
