\"Amaya<\/p>\n

Through stunning photography and inspiring stories, Amaya Williams chronicles her 140,000 kilometer bicycle journey through 96 countries on six continents.\u00a0This is an account of the rewards of calculated risks, the kindness of strangers and reaching beyond the possible.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s pedaling up a 16,000 foot high Andean pass in Bolivia, slogging through Africa\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Facing Challenges<\/h3>\n

Change is the only constant as she pedals around the planet.\u00a0\u00a0 Perfecting the art of calculated risk-taking is essential to survival.\u00a0 Thriving on the road means adapting instantly to changed circumstances, seeing difficulties as temporary and finding creative solutions.<\/p>\n

Lessons from the Road<\/h3>\n

Life on the road has taught her to approach life with a curious and open mind, allowing instinct to be her guide. \u00a0This round the world expedition is a case study in success being determined by the spirit of perseverance rather than pure talent.<\/p>\n

Why this Matters<\/h3>\n

This talk will inject you with a dose of enthusiasm, and appeal to anyone with a love of adventure and desire for challenge. \u00a0The message is clear: dare to fail; you won\u2019t achieve anything without taking the first step.<\/p>\n
