Meet our Presenters Sonia Poussin

Sonia Poussin

Sonia graduated with a Masters degree in Business Administration and moved into AIDS work. She managed an orphanage in Nepal for six months and worked afterwards on different missions for Unesco. In another diploma at the Sorbonne University she specialised in education in third world countries. She joined Alex and his friend on little stretches of their trips around the world and in the Himalayas. She masterminded the Africa Trek, and was at the same time the photographer and co-director of the 12 episode series, each episode 26 minutes in duration, selected from 300 hours of rushes. At the same time, 14,000 pictures where taken and 460 selected for their Photo-Album.

Sonia and Alex work and live together, and have a baby girl named Philae, in memory of the place in Egypt where she was conceived. Sonia walked pregnant for the last three months and 1800 km of their journey. She's planned for the next trip, of course. But the destination is still secret.
