More than twenty-five years after his legendary journey around the world, Ted Simon sets off again—this time to discover what has changed, both in the world and in himself. Retracing the route of his original epic adventure, he rides through Europe, Africa, South America, and beyond, encountering a world transformed by technology, politics, and time.

This is a profoundly reflective journey that explores the nature of travel itself. Simon grapples with ageing, memory, and the bittersweet experience of revisiting old haunts and friendships. His observations are sharp, his prose elegant, and his honesty disarming as he considers whether the magic of the open road can ever be recaptured. Essential reading for anyone who has ever dreamt of setting off on their own grand adventure.
