We plan custom trips for travelers who want the experience, not the hours of planning behind it.

Welcome! 

Curated Compass Journeys exists for the trips that actually matter to you—whether it’s a big celebration, a first adventure in a new place, or simply much-needed time away. We listen to what you want out of the experience, edit down the options, and design an itinerary that feels aligned with your style and pace. Our team manages the moving parts and works with trusted partners so your travel feels polished and taken care of, without feeling stiff or overplanned.

Better planning and booking, from the very start.

When you book with us, we start with how you like to travel—your pace, preferences, and non-negotiables. From there, we handle the research, reservations, and logistics so you get a trip that feels like you, without spending hours in the planning weeds.

You are in the right place if...

you want to travel well but don’t have the time or desire to plan every detail yourself. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by research, unsure what’s actually worth your days, or tired of wondering if you’ve booked the right thing. Our job is to take the trip you’ve been thinking about and turn it into a clear, realistic plan that feels like you—without feeling like a cookie-cutter tour.

"When I started planning my honeymoon with Amanda, I gave her a VERY specific vision for my trip, and she exceeded every expectation. Not only was she very good at communicating from the start, she is so SPEEDY. I ended up adding on more days to our trip because I loved the itinerary she executed so much. I've referred her to my friends, and can't wait to work with her again!"
