What do you do when you're 34 and almost everyone around you is getting married, starting families, buying houses and trying to get ahead in their careers, and somehow it’s just not what you want from life?

The first thing I did is improve the bed / seating area.

Life Done Differently

Lisa Jansen

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm a 30-something on a mission to find out what life has to offer when the 'traditional' path of marriage, kids and 9-5 jobs just isn't right for you. Follow my journey.

But a word of warning, I'm not quite sure where I'm going so don't blame me if we get lost.
