About Me

English:

Life is too ephemeral to don't follow our dreams.
Today can be our last day, so enjoy it!

I am a passionate human being about life and movement, currently working as a whale watching guide (since 2019) traveling to different places around the world, starting in South America, and moving soon to work in Norway.

I spend a lot of time at sea working with wildlife such as whales, dolphins, and abundant marine life, but when I'm on land, I enjoy engaging in fun activities like playing music, photography, surf, skate, slackline, and having good conversations about life.

I'm always curious to know more about our planet, animals, ecosystem and universe!

Spanish:

Soy un ser humano apasionado por la vida y el movimiento, actualmente trabajo como guía ballenero (desde el 2019) viajando por distintos lugares del mundo, comenzando por sudamérica, y moviéndome pronto a trabajar en Noruega.

Paso bastante tiempo navegando en el mar trabajando con fauna salvaje como ballenas, delfines y mucha vida, pero cuando estoy en tierra me gusta mucho hacer actividades divertidas como tocar música, fotografía, surfear, patinar, slackline y una buena conversación sobre la vida.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love whales, I am passionate about these amazing animals so I could talk all day of them.

I've been working as a whale watching guide since 2019 so I got a lot of experiences and encounters with cetaceans that I can share and teach about their behavior and the marine ecosystem.

You can see my pictures on my Instagram @frank_austral

Also I do a lot of sports, like slackline, surf, skate that I can teach too.

Music is an important thing in my life so I'm always playing instruments like guitar, ukulele, flute, melódica and freestyle rap too.
