My Story
Passionate about birds since childhood, at age 11, I started this popular blog Birdgirl. At age 17, I saw a Harpy Eagle in the Brazilian Amazon, which made me become the youngest person to see half the birds in the world. Each of these is special to me, not as a number but as a truly fantastic experience.
