Cycling 38,000 Miles Around the World with Jacob Lemanski

Shelby Stanger interviews Jacob Lemanski about his wild idea to cycle around the world until he couldn't go any further. Jacob recounts his initial cross-country bike tour in the US, which sparked his love for bike touring, and details his three-year, 38,000-mile journey across 42 countries, starting in Portugal and ending when he felt he was done in Africa. He shares logistical challenges, like sleeping outdoors, dealing with mechanical failures, and a harrowing experience with a hurricane in Baja, Mexico. Upon returning home, Jacob struggled to reintegrate into society and found solace in creating ant farms and starting a podcast, "How to Move the Stars," to retell his journey day by day.
