Heather Lea- Riding Full Circle

Join Heather Lea for her honest and humorous tales from the road, and the unforgiving and beautiful lessons learned from traveling!
About this Event

Heather Lea met Dave Sears online. Within one month of dating they decided to sell almost everything they owned to travel around the world together on motorcycles. The choice itself was risky, but the real struggles would come from within. When they left, Heather could hardly ride and was an independent spirit. Dave was more or less a stranger to her and had an ambitious agenda.

What followed was a journey that often pushed them both to the edge. From crashes and broken bones to roadside arguments and spoiled dreams, it seemed at times that every mile had its challenges. Yet even on the worst days, random acts from those they understood even less than each other, brought compassion and light.

Riding Full Circle is Heather’s true and humorous story of love and risk on the move: what it means to build trust with another person while finding strength within yourself, and how the road—unforgiving and beautiful—teaches lessons no traveler can predict.


Heather Lea is a Canadian-born adventure writer who once lived out of her truck and founded a lifestyle magazine, then sold it all to ride a motorcycle around the world with a guy she barely knew. Two years, 40 countries, and 55,000 miles (88,513 kilometers) later, she’s still riding, still writing, and had published her first book, Riding Full Circle: What The World Taught Me About Motorcycles, Risk, and Someone I Barely Knew.
