20 Feet From Lions

Because sometimes the moment that sticks with you is only 20 feet away.

What is 20 Feet From Lions?

For more than forty years my wife and I have wandered across the world — through jungles, deserts, mountains, cities, and oceans — visiting more than seventy countries along the way.

Many of our most unforgettable moments were not the famous landmarks, but the unexpected encounters: the time we realized we were standing barely twenty feet from a group of lions in South Africa, watching Komodo dragons in Indonesia, navigating a typhoon in the Philippines, or discovering quiet corners of cities like Singapore, Penang, and Lima.

This site is a collection of those moments — the stories, photographs, and experiences that stayed with us long after the trip ended.

Sometimes the memory that stays with you forever is only twenty feet away.
