Alastair Miller checks in with explorer Rosie Stancer on her epic Incense Route journey
As visionary explorer Rosie Stancer marks the midway point of her journey along the Incense Route—a 2,000 km walk through the deserts and ancient trading paths of Arabia—she joins Alastair Miller to reflect on her experiences thus far. Learn how Rosie’s training helped prepare her for the day-to-day realities of her journey and hear about her experiences walking the first half of this ancient route. This fascinating conversation touches on navigation, female empowerment, the effects of climate change and the similarities between deserts like Antarctica and Saudi Arabia, where Rosie is exploring currently.
