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.

Papua New Guinea, Jeff Shea Vine Cross River, 1983 - In truth this was not a rope, but a bush vine called 'canta.' Canta was very useful. When we reached the village of Ok Esai some time later, 'canta' was used to tie the logs of our raft together. In this photograph, I am merely trying the rope our for fun. We did not need to cross the river.
