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 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!

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.

We’re talking about how cancer affects mental health, and how going on potentially one of the toughest journeys imaginable, it is possible to come out of the other side still laughing. Both of us have had an extremely difficult time during Malin’s battle with colon cancer, and we’re chatting about how we try to keep a positive mindset throughout all the darkness, how Malin has been the victim of online bullying, and how we would like to do our part to normalise the discussion around mental health.
We’re still currently travelling through Europe, making our way back up to Sweden after exploring southern Europe and the Canary Islands this winter in our DIY built campervan called Sunny. We’re currently sat in a vineyard in a chilly France.

Last year we sold our house and moved in to our van full time. Living and travelling in a van with two young kids is not without it's challenges, and this week we're chatting about the ups and the downs of how it feels to travel across Europe while trying to raise two small humans.
This episode was recorded in our campervan in a cold and rainy France, on our way up to Sweden.

We recount our experience of when we set off on our travels; moving in to our DIY campervan with our two small kids, racing an arctic snowstorm south in Sweden, a HUGE water leak in our van before we'd even started, and we also chat about one of the biggest hospital mix-ups we've ever seen - where Malin was accidentally given something that she's EXTREMELY allergic to. Fun times!
We're still travelling through Europe in our awesome campervan called Sunny. We recorded this episode sat in the south of Spain, on the border of Gibraltar.

The podcast is here! Finally, episode one of Malin & Tom's podcast has arrived, and in the first episode we try to introduce ourselves a bit, briefly share a bit about our battle with colon cancer at just 29 years old, and living in a van with two little kids.
We're currently travelling around Europe in our campervan called Sunny, and in this episode we're sat under some lovely palm trees, enjoying the evening sun in Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife.
