Stories
My stories of adventure and finding motivation around the world! Come along to read my stories of meeting interesting folks and discovering anecdotes of life.
Mexico
Ice Cream Angel
It was a warm, sunny, Easter Sunday in Juarez, Mexico. I sat on the plaza in front of a large church. My friends Patrick, Debbie and I wanted to attend Easter Sunday services but there were too many steps to get into this church.
Africa
Our South African Adventure
I thought I was a true adventurer until I met Anthony. He found me through my website, from half way across the world, in Cape Town, South Africa. By the time we had exchanged a few emails, I sensed that Anthony was more than a kindred spirit.
Nepal
Everest: A view from my wheelchair
When Joanna, a fellow scuba diver, alerted me that the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities was looking for ten people with disabilities to participate in an expedition to Mount Everest, I knew immediately how to respond.
Mexico
Our Mexican Misadventure
I hadn’t heard any screaming because we were all asleep when it happened. There was no up or down, just round and round. Glass breaking, metal bending and all in complete darkness.
Panama
Our Panama Adventure
After Jungle Gene visited friends Joni and Anthony in Cape Town, then went bungy jumping and bridge swinging from my previous South Africa story, we flew to Johannesburg, caught the City Bug Mini-bus to drive to Nespruit.
Cuba
Our Cuban Adventure
My adventure started as a conversation with my friend Mark, another wheelchair user, with whom I made an expedition to Mount Everest base camp years previous. He was a seasoned traveler and the kind of guy who could always find the bright side in questionable situations.
