How One Man’s Global Bike Ride And Ant Farms Transformed His View of the World
Some dream of adventure. Others strap their lives to a bicycle and chase it across continents. Meet Jacob Lemanski, the unstoppable explorer behind How To Move The Stars, a video podcast chronicling his extraordinary 38,000-mile solo ride across six continents.
His journey was more than just a test of endurance. It was a deep dive into the unknown, where every pedal stroke became a lesson in resilience, every obstacle a chance to redefine limits.
From battling brutal headwinds to enduring relentless heat, Jacob discovered that adventure isn’t just about conquering miles. It's about surrendering to the experience. He learned that the road is unpredictable, and the only way forward is to embrace both the struggle and the beauty in equal measure.
For Jacob, the journey didn’t end when the wheels stopped spinning. Upon returning home, his creativity took on a whole new form. He began crafting psychedelic ant farms, a reflection of the interconnected, ever-moving world he had experienced on his ride.
The patience, observation, and adaptability he developed on the road translated into his artistic vision, proving that exploration doesn’t stop when the adventure is over. It simply evolves.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
What keeps a person moving when the road never seems to end? How do you embrace discomfort, push through exhaustion, and find joy in the hardest moments? And what happens when the journey changes you forever?
Join us on Speaking of Travel as we dive into Jacob’s story. This is a story of grit, wonder, and the magic of saying yes to the unknown.
