It’s my first season and so far I am loving it! I love going out to sea every day and getting to experience these magnificent creatures up close. Working as a naturalist at Elding, one of my favourite parts is (apart from the animals obviously) how palpable the excitement from the passengers is. It’s great feeling to see a fluke-dive or breach together. I love being able to educate and share my passion for wildlife and conservation. I hope I can inspire the younger generation to care for our oceans and environment, maybe even sculpt some mini-biologists. Everyone at Elding is like minded and understands the importance of conservation and it’s just a bonus that everyone is friendly, it is wonderful to be able to work in such an environment.
Anna speaks German and English fluently, as well as some French.
