In 2006, Bernard and Rosemary bid farewell to their demanding corporate careers, eagerly embracing the opportunity to pursue their shared love for travel. As the years passed, they embarked on an incredible journey, visiting every country in Central and South America. After fifteen fulfilling years, Bernard felt the urge to conclude the final chapter of his remarkable travel stories. The inspiration for his book, titled "Jubilado" (retired in Spanish), stems from the countless times he had to fill in the word "Jubilado" on immigration forms when entering Spanish-speaking countries across Latin America.

In "Jubilado," Bernard takes readers on a captivating journey, reminiscing about his diverse experiences in Mexico, from the northern region to the southern reaches of Argentina, and all the countries in between. In Mexico, he and Rosemary immerse themselves in the lives of renowned artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, joining the crowds visiting the awe-inspiring Worlds busiest Catholic shrine. On the other end of the continent, they conquer the formidable Cape Horn, embark on a thrilling journey aboard "the train to the end of the World," and encounter majestic whales off the coast of Patagonia.

These captivating tales, along with many more, unfold across the vast continent, loosely referred to as Latin America.

Bernard's writing style is captivating, as he weaves together vivid descriptions, personal anecdotes, and cultural insights, creating a rich tapestry of experiences that transport readers to the vibrant landscapes and vibrant cities of Latin America. "Jubilado" is a testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration and the enduring bonds forged through travel, offering a glimpse into the diverse wonders and rich heritage of this captivating region.
