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.

Nepal, Monk Hats, 1983 - The regalia and costumes at the Mani Rimdu ceremony made it exciting. Here the monks wear traditional hats, harkening back centuries.
Moldova, Transdniester, Goose Step, 2003 - A visit to Transdniester is worth it, if only to get the flavor of this breakaway province of Moldova. They have their own money and their own government. It harkens back to the Communist Bloc days.
