In 2019, Sarah Davis became the first woman to lead an expedition along the length of the Nile and joined me on the show in episodes 34 and 134 to discuss it.
This time she returns to share her next epic adventure, in which she’s swapping her paddles for pedals and will ride 5,000 unsupported across Australia!
In this conversation, we discuss:
* why, just 8 months after finishing her Nile expedition, she decided to paddle the length of Australia’s longest river, the Murray - a journey of 2,500km
* where (and when) the idea to ride across Australia came from,
* the logistics involved and how she’s preparing her body - and butt! - for the ride,
* what she the Nile expedition taught her about risk management and how you can manage the risks associated with your adventures,
* mental health challenges, eating disorders and developing a deeper appreciation for what your body can do, as opposed to what it looks like.
