Monica Evans's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

Monica Evans

I write mostly about nature and people, from my home in Raglan on New Zealand’s wild west coast. I’m passionate about the ways that great storytelling can bridge worlds and generate positive change. After a diverse decade of work in international and community development, I’ve put down roots and honed my skills as a journalist, editor, communications consultant, and content creator. Outside of writing, I love dancing, hiking, swimming in the ocean, and exploring nature with my partner and two young children.
