Jupiter’s Travels: THE worldwide traveler.

I am not Jupiter.  I have never met Jupiter, but because of Jupiter I have been to 5 Continents, more than thirty countries and speak 5 languages.   Although, none to fluently (especially english).   Jupiter also known as Ted Simon ( Jupitalia.com ) drove around the world on a motorcycle in 1970 at the age of 42.  He wrote about his adventures in Jupiter’s Travels.   I can not recommend this book highly enough.  But, beware you may quit your job buy a bike and do the same.   I am writing this from Florianopolis, Brazil.  I don’t own a home.  I no longer make a 6 figure salary.  I don’t even have a car.   But, I live in paradise.

Oh, and if you think you are too old for such foolish ideas… Mr. Simon repeated the trip a few years ago at the age of 70!  It took him 3 years and he wrote another book ( Dreaming of Jupiter ) about it.  Which, to my embarrassment I have not been able to get my hands on yet.  But, I will!

From Chicago it takes about four hours. Luckily, Cancun isn’t that far from America so it’s simple to find a good time for a flight. Cancun is getting more and more popular thus driving down the price of tickets.
