The Accidental Birder also has a Substack!

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my Substack, where I’m unveiling a deeply personal memoir about birding adventures across the globe with my husband. I also illustrate it with my watercolor paintings. These stories weave together the beauty of travel, the wonder of birds, and the enduring power of love. Each essay is crafted to evoke a strong sense of place, immersing you in vibrant landscapes and heartfelt moments.

Think of it as a collection of lightly illustrated narratives—a picture book for adults—where the words paint the scenes and the illustrations add dimension. Whether you’re a seasoned birder, a passionate traveler, or simply someone who loves a good love story, there’s something for you.

I’ll still report on trips here on WordPress (South Africa and Morocco coming soon!), but the Substack will have a story arc and provide a deeper dive into discovering the world.

Join me on this journey, one essay at a time, as we explore a world where wings and wanderlust collide. Visit my Substack here and you can subscribe for FREE! Each essay/chapter will land in your email much like this site does.
