Sharon Evans is the heart behind Freewheeling Kiwi — adventurer, storyteller, and coach. Based in New Zealand, she believes that real growth happens outside comfort zones. Having walked the full length of Te Araroa, trekked to Everest Base Camp and numerous other adventures, she now shares the lessons she’s learned from life, travel, and nature.
Through her writing, coaching, and guided group trips, Sharon guides others to find courage, reconnect with themselves, and travel in a way that’s adventurous, grounded, and deeply meaningful.
Twin volcanic crater lakes, a ten metre waterfall, ancient kahikatea forest, and a mid-winter swim in Lake Ōkataina that nobody regretted. The July Reset and Recharge Walk delivered one of those days that stays with you, the kind where you arrive carrying the week and leave having quietly set it down somewhere between the trees.
This edition also tackles one of the questions I get asked most often: how do you actually get fit for hiking without turning your life upside down? Plus news from the August Reset and Recharge Walk at Pirongia Forest Park, and a small update from life at Shambhala where the solar is finally coming online.
