Amaya Presenting at the Ara Lock Bike Festival in Seoul, Korea

Through stunning photography and inspiring stories, Amaya Williams chronicles her 140,000 kilometer bicycle journey through 96 countries on six continents. This is an account of the rewards of calculated risks, the kindness of strangers and reaching beyond the possible.

Whether it’s pedaling up a 16,000 foot high Andean pass in Bolivia, slogging through Africa’s thick equatorial jungles or struggling to communicate as she bikes through the Middle East, she’s learned that the toughest situations often invite the greatest opportunities.

Facing Challenges

Change is the only constant as she pedals around the planet.   Perfecting the art of calculated risk-taking is essential to survival.  Thriving on the road means adapting instantly to changed circumstances, seeing difficulties as temporary and finding creative solutions.

Lessons from the Road

Life on the road has taught her to approach life with a curious and open mind, allowing instinct to be her guide.  This round the world expedition is a case study in success being determined by the spirit of perseverance rather than pure talent.

Why this Matters

This talk will inject you with a dose of enthusiasm, and appeal to anyone with a love of adventure and desire for challenge.  The message is clear: dare to fail; you won’t achieve anything without taking the first step.

 

What people are saying...
There are few people who can achieve great things and remain humble.
Amaya is a rare eloquent orator that vividly paints an amazing round-the-world journey and still feels like the girl next door. She will charm you with her wit and humor, leaving the entire audience inspired by the gracious resolve of the human spirit.
The best two hours of radio I’ve ever done!
–Kevin McManigal, host of ‘One For The Road’, KBGA Missoula

Amaya did a wonderful job painting a picture of the challenges and rewards of round the world cycling.
Many of our club member are just day cyclists, but they were able to transport us into their world of adventure and exploration.
We learned of the ups and downs, both literally and figuratively, of a multi-year cycling adventure.
The lessons learned can apply to other grand adventures or every day life. I highly recommend Amaya as an inspiring speaker.
-Julie Huck, Adventure Cycling Association
