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.

Iran, Women In Qom, 1984 - I walked across the road to see the Golden Temple of Qom, a very holy site in iran. But I was blocked in crossing the street again as an anti-American demonstration blocked my passage. They shouted "Marg bar America (Down with America)." The year was 1984, one of the worst for Iran-America relations.
