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.

Kosovo, Riding The Back Of The Truck, 2003 - I drove across Kosovo to Montenegro in a car rented from Serbia. I didn't realize until someone told me that it was a bit dangerous to drive around with Serbian license plates, given recent history. Here a man rides the back of a truck. My feeling in Kosovo was one of restrained sadness.
