Adventures in Understanding: Alice Morrison
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Explorer, TV presenter and author Alice Morrison joins us this week, fresh from a world first: becoming the first recorded person to cross Saudi Arabia from north to south on foot.
For Alice, the heart of adventure is understanding, and not only of the people next door. Through the stories she gathers and shares from her journeys, she helps us get to know other people, countries, religions and places, so we can no longer stand back and condemn them from a distance. We see where they are coming from, and make better decisions.
She honestly wrestles with her beliefs about our world. She once believed life would simply keep getting better. Reporting from Northern Ireland, she saw the peace reached at Stormont as a template the rest of the world might follow, and the rise of conflict and violence since has been hard to bear. Yet she still believes we have to face it and keep acting for a better humanity. In a Scottish word from her upbringing, we must "gird" ourselves for the tough and necessary work ahead.
More about Alice:
Alice Morrison is an explorer, TV presenter and author, fresh from a world first as the first recorded person to cross Saudi Arabia north to south on foot. A Scot brought up partly in Africa, she studied Arabic and Turkish and worked in journalism before changing course in mid-life, cycling 12,000km from Cairo to Cape Town on the longest bike race on earth. Now based in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, she has since walked the length of the Draa river as the first woman to do so, crossed the Sahara with camels and Amazigh guides, and presented BBC series including her latest, Arabian Adventures: Secrets of the Nabateans. She is the author of four books, among them Walking with Nomads, runner-up for the Best Travel Book Award 2023, and hosts the podcast Alice in Wanderland.
