Sarah Davis joined me on the podcast almost two years ago to share her plans to become the first woman to paddle the length of the Nile river.

A journey of 6,853km / 4,200mi from the source of the Nile in Rwanda, all the way to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt, at the time we first spoke Sarah had anticipated the expedition would start in January 2018 and take 7 months.

(You can find the show notes for that episode here)

So Sarah returns to the podcast this week to share how it unfolded!

Spoiler alert!

Things didn’t all go according to plan and two key decisions meant that Sarah wasn’t able to achieve her original goal to paddle the length of the Nile.

However, she has become the first woman to lead an expedition along the Nile.

In this conversation, we discuss:

- how she made the decision where to start her expedition; a harder decision with more options than you might think,

- what she felt visiting the source of the Nile in Rwanda after 3+ years of planning,

- the very angry hippo tried to flip and then bite a hole in their inflatable raft just 6 days into the expedition,

- how she was arrested and detained for 3 days in Burundi,

- the point at which she (and her team) decided to catch a ferry on Lake Victoria which meant she wouldn’t achieve her original goal to paddle the entire length of the river (and how disconnecting from ego and exploring her ‘why’ made the decision somewhat easier),

- why she cried in a hotel restaurant the day after she finished her expedition, and

- whether the expedition feels like unfinished business.
