In this SheADV Trailside, we sat down with Heather Lea — writer, traveler, filmmaker, and world ADVenturer — for an inspiring conversation about the challenges and triumphs she faced while riding around the world.

We also discussed her new book, Riding Full Circle: What the World Taught Me About Risk, Motorcycles, and Someone I Barely Knew, the story of a 58,000-mile ride through 40 countries with her partner.

Whether you’re adventuring globally or just exploring your own neighborhood, Heather’s insight is relevant, empowering, and deeply relatable to ALL women riders. If this conversation resonates with you, please share it with another female rider — together, we uplift and inspire the entire women’s riding community.
