In episode 10, I talk to Alice Morrison, an international author, explorer, and adventurer, known for her writing about her travels to and experiences in remote, challenging, and sandy locations in the Middle East and North Africa (‘MENA’).
Often highlighted as the ‘Indiana Jones for girls’, she is the author of "Walking with Nomads", and "Dodging Elephants," which detail her journey through the Sahara Desert (where she stumbled upon dinosaur footprints and discovering a lost city whilst trying to avoid landmines, quicksand and deadly snakes) and her experience cycling across Africa, respectively.
Alice has also notably completed the Marathon des Sables, cycled some 12,500km from Cairo to Cape Town in the Tour D’Afrique, completed the Everest trail marathon (a multi-day event covering 160 kilometres in the Himalaya), worked behind and in front of the cameras at the BBC, led and grown companies, and has a background in anthropology and archaeology. Her writing often explores themes of cultural exchange and understanding, and she is known for her ability to capture the warmth and humanity of the people she encounters on her travels, as well as conveying the beauty and majesty of the natural world.
