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.

Congo Zaire, Children, 1984 - This was taken on my first visit to the Congo, then known as Zaire. I was impressed by how happy the children seemed. I realized then that material wealth was not a guarantee of happiness; ironically, it seemed that children smiled and laughed more in poor places than in rich.
