Returning Home: Sequoia di Angelo – an Adventure Book Tour of New Zealand

Join author, entrepreneur and adventurer Sequoia di Angelo in Christchurch for a special Q&A and a reading from her autobiography: Journey of Heart; A Sojourn to K2.

Signed copies will be available for purchase on the night thanks to staff from Paper Plus Bush Inn.

It has been ten long years since Sequoia returned to her homeland, New Zealand.

New Zealand/Aotearoa holds some beautiful memories of her past, and also her pain. This will be Sequoia's first time to return since her famed mountaineering father, Marty Schmidt, and her 25-year-old brother Denali Schmidt, were killed in an avalanche on the mountain, K2.

Now, four years after their deaths, Sequoia is a published author of the award-winning book Journey of Heart; A Sojourn to K2.

Sequoia will bring her writing with her as she cycles the entire length across the country stopping in nine cities to sign and perform readings from her non-fiction account.

Adventure runs strong in her family, and during this book tour, Sequoia hopes to experience new, inspiring and thrilling adventures that Aotearoa and its people have to offer.

The plan is one bike, nine cities and four adventure sports to be accomplished on this trip to New Zealand titled: Returning Home - The Adventure Book Tour.
