Hello there! I’m Lorie, your enthusiastic guide to the exciting world of travel and diving. While I’m not claiming to be a guru, my passion lies in sharing detailed travel insights and conducting research to enhance your travel planning. I enjoy engaging with the diverse people I meet, gathering and sharing varied perspectives on diving, traveling, and ocean conservation.

My diving journey began in 2013 when I received my scuba certification in Brisbane, Australia. Since then, I’ve ventured to stunning dive sites across the Philippines, Australia, the U.S., and Europe.

Since 2014, I have been based at the crossroads of Europe, in Luxembourg. From here, I use my home as a launchpad to explore beautiful local and global destinations. Whether I’m traveling with my non-diving family members or venturing out solo, I have created travel guides featuring water activities and topside tours.

At Diving Escapades, my mission is to foster a community that enjoys both underwater and land-based travels. I am committed to sustainability, striving to ensure that every travel not only thrills but also preserves the beauty of our planet.

Additionally, as a certified dealer of TRSHBG, I invite you to visit the Diving Escapades’ Shop and check out the TRSHBG Hip Bag. It’s perfect for divers and environmentalists alike, designed for effective trash collection during water activities. Handmade in Bali, Indonesia from upcycled materials such as scooter tubes and vintage banners, it’s not just eco-friendly, it’s essential.
