Today, I’m joined by digital nomad and author Lisa Jansen to get her list of the top 10 New Zealand hidden gems and get a peak into the New Zealand campervanning lifestyle. Lisa is a long-term traveler based in New Zealand. She has been a nomad for over six years, five of which have been spent traveling across the country in her campervan. Her book Life Done Differently explores her decision to prioritize a nomadic lifestyle, favoring travel and van living over conventional familial and career pursuits. Lisa shares her eclectic mix of off-the-beaten-path places to visit, from surreal lakes and remote beaches to a steampunk town, a west coast alternative to the popular hot water beach, one of the best night sky views in the world, and where you’re most likely to naturally swim with dolphins. You’ll hear all about New Zealand vanlife, get tips and tricks for having your own campervan adventure, and gain plenty of insights into solo and long-term travel. 👉 Want Lisa's list of New Zealand hidden gems? Click here to go to the website!
