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.

Tokelau, Tokelau Prov, Emotional Rescue - Tokelau, Emotional Rescue, 2001 - We chartered the Emotional Rescue for a trip from Samoa to Tokelau, then to the Phoenix Islands as far as Canton, then to Wallis. I came down with malaria several days from Wallis and suffered in the hot sun in the open sea.
Papua New Guinea, Long Haus, 1983 - This long house was in a village near Lake Kutubu. We had occasion to sleep in such houses from time to time. It was very communal; everyone slept on the spacious floor. It was also very noisy.

Wild Horses, 2014
Mongolia, Tov Province (Aimag)
There are only about 300 wild horses remaining in the world, and they are all just outside of Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia.
To get this shot, I had to stalk the horses for hours. Finally, they became used to me. It seemed that they thought I was one of them.
