Start Here
I wasn't supposed to survive.
But surviving wasn't the same thing as living.
Backroad Bandicoot documents the journey from trauma and addiction to motorcycles, movement, community, and purpose.

Healing in Motion
For years, survival was the goal.
Trauma, addiction, loss, fear, and the weight of everything that came before shaped the road behind me. But healing didn't happen when life suddenly got easier. It happened when I started moving.
Through motorcycles, roller derby, adventure, community, and honest conversations, I discovered that healing isn't a destination. It's a journey.
Healing in Motion is the belief that growth happens one step, one ride, one fall, one lesson, and one mile at a time.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep moving forward.
🏍️ Movement
Motorcycles, travel, and adventure as tools for growth and self-discovery.
🛼 Resilience
Building strength through challenge, community, and showing up imperfectly..
❤️ Connection
Creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and less alone.
