Life Done Differently – The Podcast

For over three years now I’ve been sharing my own story of living life off the beaten track on this blog. On my journey, I’ve met and heard from many other amazing people who are doing life differently in some shape or from – from those who go all out like me to others who have only made a few minor changes to their life to feel less stuck and have more time for the things they love. I’ve been thinking for a while that it would be amazing to share those stories. So, I’ve decided to launch a Podcast.

Life Done Differently - The Podcast

Is all about people who are living alternative lifestyles. In each episode, I interview people who chose alternative paths in live. We talk about why they chose this path, how they made it happen, obstacles they had to overcome, things they learned along the way and much more. Through this podcast, you will meet a range of amazing people living amazing lives. From people living on off-grid properties, in vans or on boats, people who travel full-time, people who chose very unusual careers, people who left the corporate world to start their own businesses as well as people who made small and simple changes in their life to have more time for the things they love.
