À propos de cet audio

Alternative Living Chat is the podcast that dives into the lives of people who’ve stepped off the beaten path and chosen to live differently. From vanlifers to off-grid adventurers, canal boat dwellers to tiny home pioneers—each episode explores the why, how, and what it’s really like to live a life outside the norm.

I ask my guests to be completely open and honest, so you’ll hear the highs, the lows, the challenges, and the unexpected joys of alternative living. If you’re curious about escaping the conventional or just love hearing real stories from real people, this is the podcast for you.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

  • Never Too Late: Life Afloat on a Converted Fishing Boat
    Oct 16 2025

    Maxine chats with Michelle, who left a 14-year rented home to live on a 35ft converted fishing boat at Denton Island near Brighton. Permanently moored and mains-plumbed, Michelle describes the cosy setup with a wood burner, shower, shed with appliances, and a close-knit community of liveaboards. She still works part-time delivering, enjoys the relaxed lifestyle, and plans to bring a smaller cruiser for occasional trips. Her advice: research your options and go for it — it saved money, brought freedom, and feels like the right next chapter.
