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.

In this episode, we get really honest (and quite passionate) about planning a life where you live and work abroad.
So today is part 1 of 3 of our series we've tentatively called, '50 Days To Freedom' which looks at the 3 questions you should ask (and in which order):
The three questions are:
- Episode 65: Why do you want to live and work abroad? (This episode)
- Episode 66: How do you live and work abroad? (Coming next week)
- Episode 67: Where in the world can you work and live abroad? (Coming in 2 weeks)
We realise that a lot of listeners (and potential future listeners) are sitting at home in January thinking, 'This year is the year I escape and live and work abroad!'
So we dig into the first of the three questions you must ask yourself before embarking on the adventure of your life (and yes, if done right, this will be the adventure of your lifetime).
Warning: We get very passionate and quite sweary in this. Oh, and we bust your balls for the first 23 mins - if you can get past that, then you pass the test, and an amazing life awaits you.
Subscribe today to ensure you hear parts 2 and 3 over the next few weeks.

Let's face it, January is a bit shit for most of us.
Cold weather, clothes that no longer fit, and the debauchery of Christmas is but a distant memory.
So we're bringing on an amazing psychologist, author & speaker who will talk about how to manage your mental health, particularly when living or working abroad.
Look out for the interview coming up very soon!

Meet Alex Haddow, a candidate for The Most Interesting Man in The World award.
He's not only been a professional footballer but he's represented England in both football & fishing, played for a Canadian team, lectured at a UK university and set up a successful sports physio clinic in the Austrian Alps.
Oh, and he's not even 40 yet*.
I think you'll love this episode, even if you know nothing about football (like Al!).
Find Alex at www.alpinesportsphysio.com.

I bet we know what you're not thinking... "Why have the Sideways guys never done a quiz as an episode?"

So grab a pen and a bit of paper and play along with us as we answer 7 questions posed by the Quiz Queen, Louise...
