EP-199 PEDALING THE WORLD: Solo Bikepacking Around the Globe, TWICE with Jacob Lemanski

In this episode of The 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Jacob Lemanski, who shares the story of his awe-inspiring 999-day journey cycling 38,000 miles across six continents—twice! What started as a personal challenge to discover his limits turned into an epic adventure of resilience, exploration, and connection with people worldwide.

 

Jacob recounts his route, from Portugal through Europe and Asia, to the Arctic Circle, all the way to the southern tip of South America, and even across Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. He talks about life on the road, camping in remote places, and the unexpected kindness of strangers. We also dive into the mental and physical challenges of such an ambitious goal and how the journey shaped his perspective on life, adventure, and human connection.
