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 wanted to live and work in Spain before, then you'll know it's tough if you're non-EU.
However, Spain seems to be following in the footsteps of Portugal, Greece & Croatia and introducing a Digital Nomad visa to allow anyone who is a 'third country' native to live & work in Spain.
In typical Spanish style, the launch date is 'mañana', but in this episode we speak to the Spanish visa expert Jessica Baker (who owns DecipherSpain.com) as she gives us her expert predictions on what it'll look like.
She also goes through the 5 existing visas that will allow you to live and work in Spain without having to wait for the Spanish Digital Nomad visa.
You can find out more about Jessica at:
And we also mentioned the amazing people at the co-working space in Malaga - The Living Room. They helped us by introducing us to Jessica, so thanks guys!

In this episode, we meet Julianne Bosch (pronounced 'Bosk') who has travelled the world as a wife (to a fancy jet-setting, Spanish-speaking businessman) and mother (to 3 cool kids who speak loads of languages).
Regular listeners will know that we don't have (nor do we want!) kids, so we always jump at the chance of sharing travel stories from people who do.
You can find out more about Julianne on her website, and you can buy her book from her website, or Amazon.
Hope you enjoy this one!
