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.

China, Guizhou, Old Miao Women, 1995 - In my travels in China, I was amazed at how many different cultural groups there were. I never took tours if I could help it. Discovering places on your own is enriching and more mysterious. These older Miao women looked on as younger, prettier girls dressed in magnificent costumes for the local festivities.
