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.

Haiti, Les Cayes Province, River Beauty, IMG_5198 - In the village river, the people play in the rapids, using inner tubes, dunking each other or jumping from the overhanging tree. The sun bears down. A market place hugs the wide bank of the river. The people are friendly. I walked down to the river side and jumped in!

Uganda, Mountains of the Moon, Guide, 1984 - In this photograph our guide leads us up the slope. The moss-covered rocks, the Giant Groundsel plants and the fog hugging the rocks shown here are typical of the Ruwenzoris. The swirling mists create an atmosphere of mystery.
