This week, we’re heading to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to hear from Alice Morrison, a British author, adventurer and self-proclaimed 'Indiana Jones for girls.' She moved to Morocco eight years ago and now speaks Arabic. Alice tells us of her adventures across the Sahara desert, encountering snakes, quicksand and lost kingdoms.
