This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Bangladesh, Ricksha, 1983 - On my first visit to Bangladesh in 1983, I was amazed by the colorfulness of their rickshas and buses. Although gaudy by American standards, this type of decoration is common not only in Bangladesh but in Pakistan as well.

PNG, Kubkain Villagers Arrive In Their Canoes,1983 - In our last days rafting down the Sepik, Kelly and I were surrounded by 14 canoes from the village of Kubkain.
