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.

If you've ever fancied living somewhere where the commute is 20 mins and you can be in your private pool at 17:21, then listen as we unpack how Paul did it.
He's brutally honest too. It's not all sand and Sangria.

2 Years ago, we stumbled across an amazing Tiki Bar whilst were living on the tiny island of Gili Trawangan (just off the Bali coast).
The guys who own it are Called Tommy & Katherine and they're some of the coolest people you'll meet.
Listen as we discuss the good times and the bad of opening a rum-based bar in a country that has one of the highest number of non-drinkers in the world!
We talk about rum, opening a bar, earthquakes and the amazing community of businesses on this special island.

You're in for a treat this week! Not only do these guys have a unique way of planning holidays (and as they are both engineers, you'd be right in thinking it's well planned), but they love everything to do with wine, and Dana moved to Florida from Bosnia & Herzegovina just after the conflict in the 90's (you'll already know that Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of our favourite places). If you like a good story, then let's get started! >> Follow Kris & Dana on Instagram: @explore.with.wine PS. You've subscribed already, haven't you? Phew. If you had not, I'd have to send Leanne round to kick you in the nipples.

When was the last time you had a 'F*ck it' moment? For Natalie & Daniel, it was quite recently.
Having already spent their vacations (that's 'holidays' for us Brits!) in cool places such as Georgia (the country not the state), they decided to change the direction of their life and move to Abu Dhabi.
Well, in actual fact, their shortlist was three countries (all very different), but all linked in some way (yep, you'll have to listen to find out which 3).
Anyway, fast-forward to 2021, and in this episode, you'll hear all kinds of stories about camels, desert camping, riddles, running in the relentless sun (Daniel's all kinds of crazy) and how it's not actually not that difficult to find a beer in the UAE.
Get stuck in!
