116: Don’t go ＜here＞ go ＜there＞ instead

Episode 115

Saturday, December 2, 2023 • Duration 46:39

Welcome to A Sideways Life, where we uncover the hidden gems of the world, far away from the usual tourist hotspots!

Hey, Sideways Lifers! In today's episode, we're taking a detour from the usual travel guide. Forget Paris, New York, and Bali - we're diving into destinations that are equally enchanting but way less crowded. We're talking about places where you can truly immerse in local cultures, untouched nature, and unique experiences. Get ready to add some new spots to your travel bucket list!

First up, let's trade the iconic spires of Prague for the charming streets of Bratislava, Slovakia. Often overlooked for its more famous neighbour, Bratislava is a hidden jewel nestled along the Danube River. Imagine strolling through the compact old town, admiring the mix of medieval and communist-era architecture, and enjoying local delicacies at a fraction of the price you'd find in Prague. Don't miss the stunning Bratislava Castle, offering breathtaking views of the city. It's a culturally rich, yet relaxed alternative to the bustling tourist hubs

Next, let's swap the crowded beaches of Thailand for the serene shores of Laos. Ever heard of Luang Prabang? This hidden paradise in the Mekong River is where tranquility meets adventure. Imagine kayaking with river dolphins, exploring waterfalls, and watching sunsets on quiet riverbanks. It's the perfect place for a peaceful retreat

Listen for our 6 other recommendations!

That's a wrap for today's off-the-grid travel suggestions! Remember, the world is full of undiscovered wonders waiting for you. Stay curious and keep exploring! And don't go to Bali.

113: Sicily to Sarajevo:Our Unplanned Love Affair with the Balkans

Episode 113

Tuesday, November 14, 2023 • Duration 31:34

Hey there, listeners! We're back with "A Sideways Life" after a good nine-month break. Thanks for hanging in there with us – we've missed you all!

In our latest chat, we get real about the ups and downs of our nomadic life. Turns out, even we can get a bit tired of moving around all the time. We spill the beans on our recent Italian escapade, where we hopped around Italy and Sicily for 90 days. It's funny how life works – this trip unexpectedly led us back to a place we can't get enough of: the Balkans, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We dive into why Bosnia has stolen our hearts, sharing stories and laughs about our adventures there. This episode is a mix of travel tales, a bit of nostalgia, and a lot of love for the places that have touched our souls.

So, grab your favourite drink, settle in, and join us for a laid-back, heartwarming journey through our lives and the places we adore. Here's to more adventures, more chats, and more unexpected joys in life. Let's get this journey restarted!

26: Nomadic Michelin Star chef cooks us lunch

Episode 26

Saturday, July 24, 2021 • Duration 40:42

Spending a Sunday with a chef of Michelin star calibre was an absolute treat!

The star of this episode is Fanni, who worked with Tommy Banks in Roots, York and now travels the world, working as a private chef for families who love great food.

Not only does Leanne talk about food (and watch Fanni make us an amazing lunch), but we talk about what it's like to work as a private chef abroad, and what life is like cooking in a van...

"A van..?", you ask.

Yep, Fanni is previous guest Andrew Bosomworth's partner (episode 23: How to drive around Europe in a campervan).

How did they end up at our house? We first interviewed Andrew remotely when he was in Hungary, and then they turned up in Pula, Croatia a few weeks later.

We immediately made up the spare bedroom, stocked up on beers, and sent an invite. We all got on so well, and Fanni was such a great chef, that Leanne had to record an episode.

So if you want to be a guest (and possibly end up drinking Gin & Tonic with us!), then drop us a DM on Instagram.

Nearly forgot... if you want the recipe card, go to ASidewaysLife.com/ep26.

And it’s vegan too!

One of the best things about travelling the world is meeting people... and we were over the moon to meet (and chat to) the wonderful couple Brent & Michael.
