Meet your hosts, Al & Leanne Elliott, a husband and wife team who’ve been travelling full time since 2017. After visiting 43 different countries and 159 towns and cities, it’s safe to say they’ve heard plenty of juicy stories of people who live life on their terms (we call it ’Living sideways’). QUICK NOTE: This podcast was formerly called ’Thravellers’ but the pandemic taught us that travel is not the only way to live life differently - hence the name change! So join us for weekly episodes where we interview interesting people who are living and working abroad. Join us, and live life a little bit sideways.

We're gonna be really honest on this episode and explain exactly what it costs to live abroad.
We talk about:
- Cost of rent & bills
- How to find cheaper long-term accommodation
- The cost of driving a UK car abroad
- What we do about healthcare
Let's get cracking!
Resources mentioned:
- Safetywing.com for emergency medical insurance
- Cigna for premium healthcare and outpatient care
- Njuskalo is where we found our current house (far cheaper than the sites aimed at ex-pats)
- Stuart Collins insurance for long term stay in Europe (or try Saga if you're over 50)
- Credit cards that we use with no currency fee: Halifax Clarity & Santander Zero
- We use Starling Bank for our day to day banking (We use the debit card to get cash out at ATMs abroad)
- We use wise.com (formerly TransferWise) to send money from UK accounts to other European accounts (like paying landlords etc)
- Numbeo.com for cost of living in other countries
- NomadList.com to decide where you want to live
