Lisa Jansen

Lisa Jansen is a writer and digital nomad based in New Zealand. In 2017, at the age of 33, she quit her well-paying job to figure out what life has to offer when you’re not sure if you want to follow the traditional path around marriage, kids, mortgages and careers. She spent five years living in her campervan, travelling around beautiful New Zealand. Along the way, she found herself and the answers she was looking for. She shares her story in the 2023 memoir Life Done Differently: One Woman's Journey on the Road Less Travelled.

Lisa’s first book, One Size Does Not Fit All: Discover Your Personal Path to a Happier Life, was published 2019. Her second book, The Nomad’s Ultimate Guide to New Zealand, was published 2021. In addition, Lisa writes for a travel magazine called Motorhomes, Caravans & Destinations, and also writes a blog www.lifedonedifferently.com.

When she is not writing, Lisa works as a virtual marketing consultant.
