Dani Bradford, a worldwide solo adventurer and writer, left Washington, D.C. by motorcycle on April 29th 2017. Her plan was to head south through North America, Central America, and South America, ending her trip in Patagonia at Fitz Roy. But an accident she was involved in changed her course in more ways than one.
Dani wrote a piece about the entire incident titled “In Which I am Hit by a Truck”, and it was so powerful that we asked her to read it for us on this episode. While it’s normal to fear the worst while traveling, especially solo, Dani’s story is a good reminder that trauma always leaves room for humanity, resilience, and self-discovery.
