If alien exist and are here, their intelligence compared to ours is like comparing our intelligence to that of an insect, lets say an ant.
Now with that being said, is it possible for an ant, left to its own devices with no help from anything else, to travel from Texas to Australia? Again, the ant cannot travel on anything man made, it has to find its own way.

Slower space travel is always an option even if it means using "generation ships" but you would need to be crazy or desperate to do it.

We would be aware of them.

However, why do you assume that an alien race must be more intelligent than us?

But where are the alien ships? That's what Enrico Fermi was getting at when he said that assuming a civilization in this galaxy got a few billion years head start on us, even at modest sub-light speeds, they would have found us by now. We would be aware of them.
So where are they? Maybe there ain't no such animal.
