In this episode of Adventure Diaries, we’re joined by the remarkable Alice Morrison, Scottish adventurer, writer, and BBC presenter. From her childhood in Uganda to her current life in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, Alice’s story is one of curiosity, resilience, and fearless exploration. We dive into her transformative experiences, from tackling the grueling Marathon des Sables and cycling 12,500 km from Cairo to Cape Town, to trekking across deserts and climbing mountains.
Alice shares how she immersed herself in Arabic culture, navigated challenges like near-death encounters with elephants, and developed a deep respect for Morocco’s rich traditions. She also discusses her upcoming BBC series, Arabian Adventures: Secrets of the Nabataeans, and her ambitious plans for a Saudi Arabian expedition. Along the way, Alice offers powerful insights on pursuing adventure, embracing cultural differences, and facing challenges with courage and humor.
