Beyond the Road - a graphic memoir about rediscovering adventure

Beyond the Road is a cozy-style true story graphic novel about rediscovering adventure with chronic illness, told through a 4-day RV trip down California's Big Sur coast. ***** Years ago, travel was central to who I was. But in 2015, a chronic illness changed everything and I had to trade my spontaneity for control, learn to manage my triggers, and slowly made peace with a reality that wasn’t going away. In 2021, I set out with my partner Juan and our Pomeranian Titan in a rented RV, navigating the winding Pacific coastline alongside the challenges of my health. It was the 1st step in my journey back to adventure, one cautious mile at a time. Beyond the Road is a story about perseverance. It's ultimately about learning to live with chronic illness without letting it define you and seeking adventure despite life's barriers. So whether you love thoughtful travel stories, reflective memoirs, or just need a reminder that it's okay to take the long way around, Beyond the Road may just be the cozy read for you.
