Welcome to the Miss Adventuring podcast, an interview program where people who are living their dreams, creating fabulously misadventurous lifestyles around doing what they love, tell us how they do it.

In 1974 Ted Simon set out on a round-the-word motorcycle journey. His account of the four-year odyssey, Jupiter's Travels, has long been "the" classic motorcycle travel tale. For me this tales holds an invaluable lesson: "The interruptions are the journey." Now, at the age of 69, Ted retraces his journey on a two and a half year journey. The delightful Dreaming of Jupiter is the tale of that adventure.

In July of 2006 Laureen and her husband found themselves garden-variety desk-driving SUV-owning suburbanites, so they did the obvious thing and sold their house to live as a family on a catamaran in the Emeryville harbor.
