Asta Mail, also known as Aunty Asta, is an outdoor educator and marine scientist with a deep passion for storytelling. As a published children’s book author and short story writer, she brings the natural world to life through magical, meaningful tales that inspire curiosity and care for our planet. Whether she’s teaching tidepool ecology or spinning a story beneath a forest canopy, her mission is to help kids fall in love with nature.
Her daughter Sayla, age six, is her constant companion in adventure. Equal parts stylish and sneaky, Sayla loves fashion, playful mischief, and outdoor exploration—especially if it involves climbing, collecting treasures, or inventing games on the go with her sister Savea, age three. As a team, they blend curiosity, creativity, and connection, one sneaky adventure at a time.
