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, Leech On Leg, 1983 - This photograph depicts the bane of bush walking in New Guinea: the leech. I had heard you had to burn them off, but actually my experience was that it was easy to pick them off with my fingers. They had a way of getting on our legs and arms, and even in our shoes, while we walked through the bush.
