Historia
When Ted Simon rode 64,000 miles round the world on his 500c Triumph Tiger, he inspired thousands of motorcyclists to begin their own adventures, including Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, who chronicled their travels in Long Way Round. Nearly 30 years later, Ted Simon took to the road again to retrace the epic journey he made in his 40s. He meets up with old friends and acquaintances, revisits old landmarks and locations, and rediscovers himself, as well as the world, along the way.

I felt like I was a fly on his shoulder during the whole trip, observing the trials and tribulations
Revisado: 11-25-20
I listened to the audible version of Jupiter’s Travels and also Dreaming of Jupiter, the narrator Rupert Dugas is absolutely marvelous and draws you in to believe you are listening to Ted himself. I’ve seen Ted in interviews and they actually do sound similar with their, shall we say “educated accents”Both audible books were addictive and I’m glad I finally got to hear them. I wasn’t inspired to ride like many others as I’d already traveled from Santa Marta, Colombia to Peru and back mostly through the mountains that took 15 months on a light 200 cc AKT motorbike. I only found Ted after watching Ewan McGreggor and Charlie Borman introduce him on one of their motorcycle trips. I’m so glad I did, I got to relive part of my trip that I’d forgotten through Ted’s remarkable memory and ability to articulate them in his complex, observant, sarcastic, yet hilarious personality which happens to match mine. Some say dreaming of Jupiter is somewhat angry and maybe negative about the state of change around the world but as a fellow traveler on a motorbike I agree with him 100%. Two thumbs up from me.

I felt I was there with Mike and his men
Revisado: 09-18-20
I love listening to Mike speak in his polished English accent, he has a captivating way of describing the moments that will keep you on the edge of your chair. I felt every stiflingly hot or miserably cold evening, I could feel and hear every bullet fly by my head as If I were laying in the mud alongside the other brave mercenaries. I couldn’t drag myself away from this narrative until the last farewell to his men.
