Astrotourism Expert

Will travel for stars

Astrotourism Expert & "NOCTOURISM" Enthusiast

My astrotourism expertise stems from a deep personal fascination with the night sky. I find grounding and much-needed perspective among the stars, planets, and aurora swirls; that’s why I chase night-sky wonders around the world, from hunting auroras on sheep farms in Greenland to chasing meteor showers in dark-sky parks.

They say write what you know, so I turned this night-sky love into a large part of my career. I regularly pen stories about astrotourism, northern lights, the midnight sun, and twilight safaris and treks for publications like National Geographic, Outside, Vogue, and AFAR. I’m also one of Travel & Leisure’s space news correspondents, which includes previewing each month’s night-sky attractions.

In addition to journalism, my astrotourism expertise extends to on-camera work and interviews, night-sky filmmaking (esp. timelapses), astrophotography, and social media content. See below for more, and reach out if you’re seeking an astrotourism consultant, creator, writer, or expert.
