Personal Details

Bio

Louis-Philippe Loncke is an explorer, adventurer, project consultant, speaking coach and entrepreneur. He has degrees in engineering and management. In 2002 he was sent to Singapore for work and started scuba diving. Two year later he went to travel, dive and hike for an entire year in Australia and New Zealand. He walked totally 2000km and dived 100 times. After meeting a few explorers back in Europe, he returned to Australia to accomplish his first 3 expeditions. All world firsts.

He has done 15+ expeditions from solo extreme treks across deserts, long distance sea-kayaking on rivers or lakes, scientific or expeditions to raise awareness for an ecological cause. Most of his expeditions were prepared while still having a full time job as IT project consultant.

He received recognition as torchbearer for the 2012 London Olympics, Fellow of the Explorers Club, elected Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and Ambassador for the Jane Goodall Institute in Belgium. In 2014, he was knighted by Dr. Goodall herself “Sir Iguana”, knight for the Youth, the Animals and the plants at the European parliament.

He is currently creating a start-up to build an online Encyclopaedia of expeditions, source of inspiration for young explorers, adventurers and scientists. The aim is to engage going in the outdoors and help to protect the environment while providing a connection platform for all stakeholders of the expedition business.

In parallel he gives motivational speeches and speaking coach. He has been speaking twice for TEDx. He applies the lessons learnt in his corporate jobs to his expeditions and uses his team management experience during expeditions back into his job.

He is building a side company called MeetExplorers with services like guiding, Digital Detoxing (strangely he was a victim) experiences and film production.

He is the founder of KayaClean.org the paddlers clean-up community.
