About The Author:
Teagen Densmore is an enthusiastic daydreamer who has lots of plans and ideas in her head and not enough time in the day to pursue them all. She is also very indecisive. This can be a very frustrating combination (lots of ideas + indecisiveness = don’t ask her to order dinner).
However, she is also a creative person and came up with an elegant way to satisfy her seemingly contrary personality quirks. Thus was born TheLifeLessTraveled.com, which lets her live vicariously through people more interesting than herself under the guise of doing a quick interview.
Teagen’s life goal is to live on a beach, eat mangoes and keep meeting more interesting people to interview.
Please enjoy these short features of people who did some really cool things. Read about how their lives have changed and what advice they have for you (hint: it’s usually to go for it!).
Get a taste for what adventures could lie ahead!
