Hi, I'm Lori!

As an Expedition Guide and Photographer I've traveled all over the world, but stepping foot on Antarctica changed me forever. Since that January day in 2006, I have been committed to sharing simple life lessons inspired by the 7th continent.

I created The Antarctic Experience to bring together a community of like-minded travelers who find Antarctica fascinating, who love learning something new every day, who believe that experiences are the best souvenirs, that animals are great ambassadors for a balanced life, that simplifying creates clarity and reduces stress, and that it is possible to find the extraordinary in the everyday, no matter if you are on the ice or at home.

I aim to share Antarctica's wild and wonderful wisdom with you, because I believe a place can change your life, even if you've never been there.

And I’ll guide you through it all….from Bucket List to Booked and Beyond!
