056: Vanlife, the East Cape and Life Done Differently with Lisa Jansen

Lisa Jansen moved to Aotearoa for a study-abroad semester and stayed. She wondered what life would look like if it wasn't a family focused or career focused life and decided to travel in a van for a summer. It quickly turned into full-time vanlife as she found herself travelling Aotearoa for 4 years, despite the challenges of lockdowns during the global pandemic. During the winter, Lisa would housesit and now is a full-time housesitter, with flexible working in her marketing role. Lisa shares about one of her favourite regions in New Zealand - the untouched and rugged East Cape of the North Island. We swap stories on some of the best things to do in the East Cape region and why it is such an amazing destination. She is an author, her book Life Done Differently shares more about her inspiring journey of travel and self-discovery.
