Alice Morrison - Adventurer

Alice Morrison is a Scottish adventurer, author, and TV presenter, often described as an “Indiana Jones for girls” for her bold, story‐driven expeditions across Africa and the Middle East. On today’s episode of Adventure Audio, Alice joins us from the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, where she now lives after swapping a high‐pressure corporate career in the UK for a life of full‐time adventure. Alice has cycled 12,000 kilometres from Cairo to Cape Town on the Tour d’Afrique, run the Marathon des Sables, walked the length of Morocco and the Sahara, and followed ancient caravan routes from Morocco to Timbuktu for her BBC2 series Morocco to Timbuktu: An Arabian Adventure. Most recently, she completed a historic, world‐first 2,200‐plus‐kilometre crossing of Saudi Arabia on foot from the Jordanian border to the Yemeni frontier, walked over two winter seasons with her camels Juicy and Lulu. Alice has written multiple books, including the award‐shortlisted Walking with Nomads, and through her films, writing, and her own podcast Alice in wAnderland, she uses slow, immersive travel to connect listeners with the people, landscapes, and cultures of Africa and Arabia.
