Description

Dreaming of Jupiter is Ted Simon's account of his four-year journey around the world by motorbike, undertaken in the late 1970s. This epic travelogue documents his travels through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia.

Over two and a half years later, at the age of 69, Simon set out to retrace his original journey, revisiting all the countries he had previously visited. The result is a thought-provoking reflection on the changes that have taken place in the world since his initial travels, as well as his own personal growth.

This inspiring read offers a positive message about the power of adventure and the importance of staying open to new experiences, even at an advanced age.
