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.

India, Rajasthan, Boy With Bells, 1984 - This was an inventive way to to be able to keep track of him while enhancing her son's appearance: this boy's mother tied a string of bells around his waist. This photograph was taken about a day's walk away from Jaipur on our foot journey to Agra. Judith Pollack of Holland accompanied me on this walk.
