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.

Morocco, Atlas Mountains, Mohamed, 1988 - I had gone to climb Mount Toubkal but was turned back by snow, lack of gear and an unwilling guide. I decided to walk back through a different valley than that by which I arrived. I was told that when I got to the village at the bottom of the gorge, I should search for Mohamed. I was given a small photograph so that I could identify him. When I arrived, it was growing dark. A man appeared from his house and inquired who I was. I showed him the photograph. He motioned that it was he, Mohamed! Mohamed invited me to eat with his family and spend the night. His wife prepared couscous. Everyone ate with their right hand.
