Show

MeetExplorers Show.

The idea to interview only adventurers and explorers came in 2012. The show's concept is to interview them before, after or during expedition depending on what is possible with respect to the timing and the budget.

Louis-Philippe (LouPhi) Loncke has met over 350 adventurers and explorers since 2005. The first adventurer he met was author Sylvain Tesson.

The first person interviewed is Henri Leduc on mountain near Quito (Ecuador), a Belgian who was did a solo unsupported polar expedition  (Svalbard) in the early 80ies before the most famous explorers did. Then came Reinhold Messner in 2014.

The entire concept of the show will not be revealed yet as it includes some design and ideas that are not seen before.

In 2024, LouPhi took the opportunity to film adventurers while revisting Australia. Many interviews where filmed and the idea of season 1 in Australia was born. Bonus interviews will happen in museums or other visits like festivals and fairs all related to adventure, exploration and scientiffic expeditions. 

On TV.

Ideally the Show will come on TV one day.
