Juan Pablo Thourte, aka as JP, was born and raised in Buenos Aires where he obtained a degree in Marketing & Advertising. His first job was in the corporate-related marketing field, where he gained great experience amongst the ‘big guys’, but at the age of 25, he felt the call of carving his own path and left his well-settled life in the city in search of adventures in Patagonia.

He moved to San Martin de los Andes with his wife to start a small advertising agency and, eventually, a family too. Life in Patagonia was challenging back then yet incredibly rewarding specially for his then young offsprings: Iki, Valu and Fafa. Nowadays, with three grown-up children in college and an extensive career in graphic and web design, event organisation, and teaching, a new turn has led him towards an even more Southernly destination, Antarctica.

JP’s strongest assets are in communication and design and the Antarctica Travels’ team couldn’t be more excited to have him leading our e-marketing strategy, communications and most importantly taking care of our brand aesthetics and development. He is a spirit lifter extraordinaire, always seeing the positive in everything without loosing grasp on reality. His invaluable contribution to Antarctica Travels constant growth makes him a key member of our team.

JP’s biggest passion will always remain in the fine arts and he is an excellent painter and drawer. He can’t conceive life without good music and a loving family and lots of friends. He lives in his Buenos Aires ‘querido’ but returns to San Martín de los Andes frequently to attend Antarctica Travels’ summits and pay a visit to his Patagonian friends.
