Life on a Stick

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The start of October marks a the beginning of an oddly scary month for us. Malin was diagnosed with an aggressive colon cancer in October 2022, one year later in October 2023 Malin was admitted to the hospital for over a week with a terrible infection where she was also given a medicine she was HUGELY allergic to in a major hospital mishap. On the flipside, we also moved in to our van in October last year, starting our journey of full time van life with kids! So a very ‘up and down’ month for us, we’re hoping for an October without any drama this year, thank you very much.

We also chat about the events of last week where Malin was once again taken in to the hospital, being picked up in an ambulance in the middle of the night with acute abdominal pain. You get both barrels with this podcast - the extreme positive and the extreme negative... That’s Life on a Stick, baby!

This week we’re chatting about how we took the active decision to take on a more minimalist lifestyle, by selling our house (and all the contents inside it) and moving our family in to our campervan. We tried our best to donate and get rid of everything that we didn’t need - but there is evidently more we could have thrown away!

We also introduce a BRAND NEW SEGMENT! Join in on the action and make sure you hit the follow button for more.

This week we’re discussing some massive culture clashes between Sweden and the UK! As a British person, moving to Sweden was a huge decision, but 9 years later we haven’t looked back.

Some of the subjects in this episode include ‘how is the parental leave in Sweden?’, and we explore other questions such as ‘is Sweden the BEST place to raise kids?’ We also chat about (read: poke fun at) the Swedish language, how it was to actually move to Sweden from the UK, some of the big cultural differences, pub culture in Sweden vs UK and a lot more!

We also introduce a BRAND NEW one-off segment, where Malin's in the hot seat as she quizzes down on the literalness of the Swedish language!

Life on a Stick Podcast with Malin & Tom

The VAN LIFE episode is here at last! We get many curious questions about how it is to live in a van full time with 2 young children, and some of the answers here might shock you a bit (spoiler alert: most of it's not as difficult as you might think).

This week we discuss a variety of van life topics including the challenges of showering, toilets, and washing clothes in a confined space. We also share a few funny anecdotes, answer popular questions from listeners, and bring a couple of inspirational stories to the table in the 'Give Us a Lift,' segment. Tune in for an honest and entertaining conversation about our unique van life.
