Freewheeling Kiwi Origin Story
With many thousands of followers across the world, many of you identify me as Sharon, the Freewheeling Kiwi however I led a very different life prior to being the adventurous, outdoors person that you follow today.
In this deeply personal blog I share with you some of the circumstances that led me to change careers in midlife, why I quit corporate life altogether and the epiphany that morphed into the Freewheeling Kiwi.
I know how difficult it is to welcome change but having successfully navigated some of life’s largest transitions, sometimes, the grass really is greener on the other side.
By sharing my story, I hope to provide you with the courage and inspiration to embrace the inevitable changes in your own life.
Hi, I’m Sharon Evans. I help people explore the world and themselves, sharing adventures and reflections that inspire confidence, curiosity, and courage.
