In this episode, I welcome travel journalist Stephanie Vermillion to discuss her captivating new National Geographic book, 100 Nights of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Adventures After Dark. Stephanie's work takes us beyond traditional stargazing to explore extraordinary nocturnal adventures across cultures—from Viking-style midwinter bonfires in Scotland to the ethereal beauty of Petra by candlelight and traditional Japanese moon-viewing celebrations. With features in Travel + Leisure, Vogue, and Backpacker, plus her new astrotourism column with Outside Magazine, Stephanie shares how nighttime experiences around the world engage all our senses and deepen our connection to the cosmos.
