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, Grand-Anse Province, Village Hut, IMG_5025 - A humble abode in Grand-Anse. The people here were hungry. The people made a meagre subsistance living, and there was little in the way of cash.
Papua New Guinea, Canoe on Sepik, 1983 - To my surprise, the people of the Sepik had small fires burning in their canoes as they paddled along. These fires could be used to light their pipes or to carry fire from one place to the next.
