About Frederick Austin

In August 2018 I quit my job, moved my life into a backpack, and flew to Germany to play rugby. Being so close to so many beautiful destinations around Europe allows me to travel regularly.

I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. When I finished school, I decided to take a Gap Year and work as a sports teacher at a school in England. My passion for photography started here during my travels.

Currently, I'm teaching English at a Kindergarten in Germany and pursuing my passion for photography in my free time.

I’m very lucky that rugby has allowed me to travel across the other side of the world. I’m determined to live out my passions.
