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.

Tanzania, J Jeff Shea from the USA Doing 64 Pushups on Top of Mt. K(ilimanjaro), 1984 - On arrival at Uhuru Peak, the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro, I celebrated by doing sixty-four pushups. I wrote in the book at top, "J Jeff Shea, from the USA, did 64 pushups, on top of Mt. K."
Ireland, Road To McGillicuddy Reeks, 1988 - The highest mountains in Ireland are called McGillicuddy Reeks, and of course I was compelled to at least go and take a look at them, one misty morning.
