In between motivational speaking events, including for Mike Pero Mortgages, Mr Yelavich has been working in his parents' Greenhithe garden, writing his book The Right Sight and completing plans for a television series with Taika Waititi's Curious Films.
"They approached me when I was just about finished my trip. It's going to be me going into the wild with someone else and finding out about them and showing New Zealand as the beauty that's in our backyard."
He said he hoped to inspire viewers by featuring guests or celebrities who had faced challenges in their paths to success, the same message he had been spreading since starting his journey.
While walking the country's coastline - a feat that included falling from cliffs, suffering from hypothermia and nearly drowning - he stopped and spoke to school children and community groups about facing challenges and accomplishing goals.
Those speeches are now also targeting the corporate world.
"I tell them about my trip and then turn whatever life skills I have learnt into workplace lessons or business lessons about setting goals or putting others before yourself."
Yelavich's adventure began in Cape Reinga, then down the west coast to Bluff and traversing the east coast back to his home city, raising more than $30,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
He was inspired by the movie Into the Wild, about a young American man who shuns convention to live in the Alaskan wilderness
