We get comments like this ALL THE TIME! It's odd, but it's a part of choosing to publicise parts of your life on the internet. We also chat about some extremely mean comments that Malin got during her battle with cancer, including someone telling her to 'buy a coffin'.

This week, we also chat about some HUGE hospital mistakes made during Malin’s journey towards being free from colon cancer, our future VANLIFE plans including Portugal and beyond, and nerves and anxieties around Malin's upcoming cancer scans. We're also soon celebrating ONE WHOLE YEAR of living in our van!

This week we're chatting all about how our SOCIAL LIVES are while living in a van. Is vanlife really that lonely?

We also get questions such as 'do your kids EVER play with other kids?' surprisingly often, so we're tackling those sorts of things on this podcast about van life! In October 2023, we made the big move to sell our house and move in to our van, just over a year after Malin's huge battle with colon cancer. It's so far been the best decision we've ever made, we love van life!

This week, we're chatting about future plans - including the scary prospect of SAYING GOODBYE TO VAN LIFE. We've lived in our van for the best part of a year, but now we're talking about buying a house in the future and giving up vanlife. Who knows?

We started our van life when we moved in to our van last year, after Malin's rough battle with colorectal cancer.

Here it is: the big cancer podcast episode.

In October 2022, Malin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of colon cancer, after months of trying to get an appointment to be taken seriously. She was just 29 years old, and had 2 small children. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is never easy, and cancer treatment is always the most difficult journey you can take, but having cancer with children is an added layer of difficult.

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.

This week we’re chatting about a few fun topics! What started off as a conversation about how much stimulation kids REALLY need, turned into a fun chat about our recent hippie festival adventures at Urkult, and an important conversation about body positivity from someone with a permanent colostomy.

Recorded from our home on wheels up in the 'north' of Sweden - after attending Urkult festival.

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 chatting about mindset. Particularly how our mindset regarding selling our house, living in a van and keeping our kids at 'home' (and out of preschool) evolved in to what it is today. We're hoping to spread a bit of inspiration, so more people can live life the way THEY want to, and sometimes that means outside the norms of society, and shift their perspective on life without having to go through a life threatening challenge such as a fight with cancer.

This episode was recording in our home/studio/campervan (called Sunny) on the east coast of Sweden.
