Louis-Philippe Loncke is an explorer, adventurer, consultant, film maker, 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 years later he went to travel, dive and hike for an entire year in Australia and New Zealand. He walked a total of 2000 km and dove 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 many 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 consultant in IT/Privacy. After many years of doing expeditions (2006-...) he started finally making films in 2021.

He received recognition as torchbearer for the 2012 London Olympics, Life 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 was a JCI (Junior Chamber International) member for 5 years (2013-2017).

With his own company, he works as freelancer consultancy, consultancy for expeditions and prepares his expeditions and films. In 2011 he started a start-up Expedb (Expedition Database) which is an encyclopedia of expeditions online: a source of inspiration for young explorers, adventurers, scientists and the general public. He knows that if more people are inspired by expeditions and nature, they will start caring more for the environment. His life goal would be to be able to plant and fund the planting of 1 billion trees.

He gives motivational and leadership speeches for corporate companies. He was on a TEDx stage multiple times. He applies the lessons learnt in his corporate jobs to his expeditions and uses his during expeditions experience into his job.
