Alice Miles
Alice first caught the travel bug when she went on a three-month conservation trip to Madagascar. Since then, she has visited almost fifty countries across all seven continents. She is keen to return to her travel beginnings and learn all things Africa.
Alice’s Recent Travel Experience
Alice recently worked in Argentinian Patagonia, living with a family on a remote ranch while helping the three children develop their English. During this time, she made numerous road trips around the vast country, including to Peninsula Valdes, where she watched southern right whales and their newborns hang out in the sheltered bays. She then went on to solo-backpack around Central America for five months, with a trip to Antarctica sandwiched in the middle. She spent most of this time ticking off bucket-list wildlife sightings and hiking all terrains, from active volcanoes to underground cave systems used by the Maya.
Alice’s Most Memorable Experience
“It’s hard to choose just one, but being outside in nature will always win. One of my most recent favorite experiences was in Antarctica in 2024. During one of our outings from the ship, we were unable to disembark from our small zodiac boat because there were penguin fledglings along the shoreline. We instead did a zodiac safari and found ourselves joined by an unannounced super pod of orca, who swam alongside us and underneath us – it felt incredibly special.”
Alice’s Bio
Born and raised in Dorset, Alice always had a love for the outdoors and all things nature. She went on to study Zoology at university, which gave her the opportunity to live for a year in an isolated field station in the jungles of Malaysian Borneo. She studied nocturnal primates and assisted scientists from all around the world with their own projects on orangutans, elephants, and crocodiles, to name a few. She started her career with TV documentaries, which involved various projects from tribes in Ethiopia to working behind the scenes in a zoo, but it was the pull of travel and the lasting feeling of her first safari in Tanzania that pushed her to start a career in the travel industry.
