Adventure doesn’t have to mean crossing deserts or taking on extreme expeditions. Sometimes, it starts with simply stepping outside your comfort zone. But Alice is ready even for the grander adventures.

In this episode of the Solo Female Travelers Podcast, we sit down with Alice Morrison, an explorer, writer, and former BBC journalist who left her career to pursue slow, long-distance journeys across some of the world’s most remote regions.

From cycling across Africa to walking the length of Saudi Arabia, and even traveling to places like Timbuktu following the salt trade, Alice shares what a life of adventure really looks like beyond the highlight reels.

We talk about the advantages women have in conservative majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa, how meaningful cultural connections shape the way we see the world, and why approaching travel with curiosity and respect leads to deeper, more meaningful experiences.

This conversation challenges the idea that adventure is reserved for a select few and instead reframes it as something accessible, personal, and rooted in how we choose to engage with the world around us.

Plus you may learn a few camel sex tricks that could save you if you ever got lost in a desert.
