2. My View from the Middle Seat

There are certain activities that people always talk about doing, but usually that’s where it ends. Christina though writes this week about actually completing one of these must-do adventures – traversing the Brooklyn Bridge. Believe me, the photos of the amazing pizza will make you wish you were in Brooklyn too, no matter how you get there.

Dave is currently pursuing his dreams in Southeast Asia; dreams of travel, location independence and freedom. Along the way are necessarily many observations about his new lifestyle, as he shares with us this week.
