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.

Nepal, Eden Hashish Centre, 1983 - This poster was made in 1973. I bought it in 1984. The Eden Hashish Shop was no longer in business, a casualty of a growing international consensus against marijuana. Still, in 1984 in Jaipur, India, marijuana, hashish and even opium were sold openly in the streets. I was told that the vendors of these materials were authorized by the government.
