What happens when you sell nearly everything you own to travel the world by motorcycle with someone you just met online? Local author Heather Lea answers that question in her debut memoir Riding Full Circle.

Lea’s journey spans two years, 40 countries, and more than 58,000 miles—yet the most compelling terrain she faces is human: trust, resilience, and the complexities of partnership under pressure.

After meeting online, the two take a leap into the unknown, embarking on two BMW motorcycles on a global adventure that delivered far more than just scenery. “This isn’t just a travel story; you don't even need to like or care about motorcycles,” Lea says. “It’s about what happens when you push past your limits—physically, emotionally, and relationally—and what you discover on the other side.” Lea is a Canadian-born writer now based in Bellingham.

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
