Stories of travel, culture, astrotourism & conservation.
Hey! I'm Stephanie.
I’m a journalist, photographer, soon-to-be author, and avid seeker of all things awe and adventure. I uncover, research, and share stories of culture, adventure, astrotourism, and conservation for outlets and brands like National Geographic, Outside Magazine, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, the World Wildlife Fund, and AFAR.
As a professional photographer, I also create images and portraits to bring my adventures and stories to life, be it aurora hunting alongside fuzzy ponies in Iceland's far-flung Westfjords, camping on the Greenland ice sheet in a snowstorm, or monitoring nesting leatherback turtles with Indigenous conservationists in a far-flung corner of Panamá.
To the detriment of my health/ sleep schedule, I'm also obsessed with the night sky. I'm one of Travel & Leisure's astro-news correspondents, and the author of 100 Nights of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Adventures After Dark (published by National Geographic and Disney Publishing).

A personal night-sky obsession turned into a career spent writing about, photographing, speaking on, and even authoring a book about nighttime adventures.

I use my blended journalism and marketing communications background to write articles, case studies, marketing materials, press releases, etc., for travel, adventure, and conservation brands.
My debut book, 100 Nights of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Adventures After Dark, published by National Geographic, spotlights beloved and lesser-known twilight marvels, from aurora hunting by dog sled to firefly festivals, glowing squids, lantern releases, and more!
