From A Dating App To Riding The Death Road

The Lowdown Show - By ADVrider

Would you travel round-the-world with someone who showed up at your house in the early days of dating with their own pillow? I like my pillow as much as the next man, but bringing one to an overnighter with your new lover is as sexy as bringing you own slippers. But wait, Heather Lea’s story gets even odder. Twenty-seven days after meeting the pillow-man, she decides to ride around the world with him. This from an independent woman who ran her own arts and culture magazine and who had a history of short relationships. But this man—Dave—was, in Heather’s words, “handsome, adventurous, smart and employed.” Here’s a tip for young men everywhere: “employed” is the key word there. Predictably, they had challenges, which included getting out of the driveway on day one and a bad crash not long after. But because bad things make for good stories, Heather wrote about the experience in in the book Riding Full Circle, and it’s on deck this week on The Lowdown Radio show.
