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.

PH, Kalinga Province, Mountain Valley Near Babalasan, 2008, IMG_2148 - The mountains of Kalinga province were one of my favorite places in the Philippines. There was sort of a Shangri La feeling there, fresh flowing streams, quiet, rice fields, devoid of the hustle and exhaust of the heavily populated areas, far above in the mountains, the whisper of cool.
