Ep. 1096: Jacob Lemanski - Riding a Bicycle Around the World TWICE

After 8 years of planning this adventure, Amy & Brian Micheletti are here today about what it was like to thru-hike the PCT during the entirety of the pandemic. In a lot of ways it was better, in others it was more challenging. It was, however, 100% an adventure...They also traded off blogging all 141 days of hiking.

After quitting her job at NPR to thru-hike the Colorado Trail, Willow was filled with confidence and a desire to help tell stories of adventure to the world. The job at NPR wasn’t satisfying her desire to do something outside the box and the recent passing of her mother was enough for her to reset the path she was going down. To say the least, the 5-week thru-hike ultimately changed her life and after getting back she quickly began working on her new project, a podcast, Out There. Today we’re going to hear Willow’s story of reinvention and self-discovery that led her down a path less taken. Out There was recently listed as the #1 outdoor podcast in iTunes, has made appearances in media throughout the world and is considered one of the best outdoor and adventure podcasts out there...Find out more about Willow and listen to Out There here: outtherepodcast.comIG: @outtherepodcastFB: @outtherepodcastSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
