Originally aired Sept 12, 2019Sarah has always been involved in sports and has always loved adventure. She credits her mother for that. As a child she would pour through her mother’s photo albums of faraway places, hoping to one day go herself. After years of working in the world of banking and traveling to over 40 countries, Sarah was thumbing through adventures that have never been completed when she realized no woman had ever paddled the entire Nile River, the longest river in the world. She immediately began planning what that would look like to attempt. She was overwhelmed with fear and worry, but that didn’t stop her. Today, we’re listening to her story of paddling the entire Nile River and what it means to put one foot (or paddle) in front of the other. It would become a journey filled with adventure. Hippo attacks, arrests, and unimaginable rapids, and civil wars would all be downstream for Sarah. www.paddlethenile.comInstagram: @paddlethenilewww.sarahdavis.coSupport Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here.
