HOW IT BEGAN

Like so many travelers, I love experiencing a new destination by wandering around, taking in the history, culture, and cuisine, meeting the locals, and hearing their stories. But to wander, everyone needs a place to start.

I created Compass & Key to be the travel resource I could never find. One that would help other independent travelers have a more fulfilling vacation. At the heart of Compass & Key are my "Itineraries for Wandering,” self-guided walks focused on small sections of the world. They encourage deeper connections with people and places and maximize precious vacation time.

A NEW AUDIENCE

In 2018, a few years after Compass & Key launched, I began hearing from hoteliers, travel agents, and other tourism businesses, not just travelers. These business owners were interested in creating wandering experiences of their own to offer to guests. I realized that by designing itineraries with travel companies, these experiences could become more authentic, more personal, and help both travelers and the businesses that serve them.
