In 1973, Ted Simon set out on a 500cc Triumph Tiger for a four-year journey through 45 countries. Jupiter’s Travels became part of his literary legacy; understanding the world lay at the heart of his travels.
The Ted Simon Foundation carries that idea forward by supporting travellers who turn observations into writing, photography, film or other creative work. It welcomes different modes of travel. Its advisers include specialists in publishing, photography, film and the arts.
Motorcycle travel illustration; neither Ted Simon’s motorcycle nor a specific journey is depicted.
We think that offers a useful aim even for a short ride: bring home one carefully observed story.
