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.

Welcome to day 9 of Podmas!! (25 days of podcasts in December).
We’re going to bring you an episode a day in December right through to Christmas Day...
The first few episodes are themed around, 'Things We Wish We Knew Before We Moved Abroad'.
We reflect on an afternoon of watching the quarter-final Croatia vs Brazil and realise that we love sporting events in mainland Europe.
NOTE: We also had 11 pints* of beer between the two of us, so we may be a bit giddy...
Tune in tomorrow for Day 10! It's gonna REMAIN messy.
OKaaaayyyy. A pint is 568ml and a big beer in Europe is 500ml. Let's not fall out about it, eh? We had 5.5 litres.

NOTE: I messed up the recording of Leanne on this episode, so she doesn't sound as lovely as she does in real life - totally my fault.
I've bought a Rode Procaster II and I CLEARLY don't know how to use it... The good news is that I now have sound effects... standby for ultimate Christmas Cheese.
Tune in tomorrow for Day 2! It's gonna be messy.
