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.
