His adventure has been described as one of the most dangerous and difficult expeditions ever undertaken encountering venomous snakes, severe floods, electric eels, jaguars and hostile local tribes.  After leaving the military in 2002 he led expeditions in Belize and then supervised the building of a BBC base camp in Guyana. On April 2nd 2008, Ed Stafford began his quest to walk the entire length of the Amazon River from source to sea. In 2009 he began writing a fortnightly blog for the Prince&#8217;s Rainforests Project. Since returning home his story has featured in over 300 articles around the globe.  Ed Stafford&#8217;s experiences of surviving adversity in some of the world&#8217;s most remote locations are simply unforgettable and highly inspiring. He uses his experiences to inspire and motivate audiences to achieve their own personal goals and shows that is it possible to succeed even when faced with seemingly insurmountable hardship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Popul\u00e4ra \u00e4mnen: Courage and Decision Making | Making the Impossible Possible | Achieving Your Own Goals | Motivation | The Journey; How To Get To The End and Make It Count<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2852,"menu_order":1525,"template":"","profile_category":[396,407,401],"profile_tag":[515,186,518,177],"profile_language":[],"class_list":["post-5377","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","profile_category-international-speakers","profile_category-motivation-inspiration-international-speaker","profile_category-growth-development-international-speaker","profile_tag-growth-development-international-speakers","profile_tag-growth-development","profile_tag-motivation-inspiration-international-speakers","profile_tag-motivation-inspiration"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
