About us

A decade of experience in astrotourism

My name is Adrien Vilquin Barrajon. I have been working in science education and astronomy outreach for over a decade, as a journalist, guide, educator, tourism operations manager and astronomer. I hired, trained and managed guides for New Zealand's top stargazing operator, designed and delivered new astronomy-based tourism products experiences, hopefully inspiring many visitors in the process.

It is however not my experience that sets me apart, it is my passion! Stargazing is a nerd business, and contagious enthusiasm is something guests always value. That's the sort of energy I put into my teaching.

Learning is best served by an active exchange. In my courses, I encourage student participation and questions. I welcome interruptions and opportunities to delve deeper into a topic.
