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, Judith Standing, 1984 - In Tengboche, Solu Khumbu, Nepal, I invited Judith to climb Island Peak with me. On the way back, we lost contact. On the way to Lukla, I saw her footprints on the path ahead of me. I met with her at a teashop. We spent the night there together. She insisted I take a bath. The woman running the teashop (essentially a stone house on the side of the trail) heated a tub of water, and I took my first bath in a week. Here, a week later, Judith stands outside the doorway to our room in Katmandu.
