very inspirational! Read about you this morning in the UK Metro. I am envious that you had so much time in Mozambique and with those beautiful animals. Thank you!! Heidi
ReplyDeleteI've been inspired by Andrea since I was 8 years old. I would really appreciate it if I would be able to get in touch with her, through e-mail. I would like to ask questions, and thank her for her inspiration. I watched a documentary that was aired on National Geographic about her in 2008. It captured my attention, and from then on I decided I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I'm 14, and I would just like to get in touch with someone that has had such an impact on my life.
ReplyDeleteTiana, thank you for your comment! I don't know how to get in touch with Andrea myself, but you should give some contact info if you want someone to reach you. Perhaps you could contact National Geographic? They might have an agent address for her or some kind of contact. Good luck and you picked a great inspiration!
