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.

Tibet, Everest Summit, Jeff Shea, May 24, 1995, 9 a.m. -
Being on the summit of Mount Everest was a dream. It lasted 40 minutes. During this time of jubilation, the back of my mind was wondering how I was going to get down. The summit is fine and all, but wise mountain climbers have an adage, that the real summit is back down at Base Camp. Fortunately, the weather was good and I made it back alive.
