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.

PNG, Jeff Shea On Raft On Sepik, 1983 - During my 10-day raft trip down the Sepik River and its tributaries, it was customary for either me or Kelly to stand at the front of the raft with a pole and a paddle. The raft frequently would run aground around turns, or, more dangerously, we might encounter trees in the river whose branches could crush our canopy. We ate, cooked and lived on the raft, usually beaching it at night.

Ghana, Accra Airport, 2000 - In 1987 I traveled across Ghana the old fashioned way, by car and train. In 2003 I had a stop over at the airport. I was surprised to see such interesting architecture in this new airport building.
