Monthly Challenge Calendar

Whether you’re planning a big trip or looking for smaller but equally meaningful adventures, this is the time to get clarity, take action, and set yourself up for success. It’s all about making those travel dreams come true, one goal at a time. Let’s see how far you can go! Dive into the Compass Method Travel Goal Workbook to help you pick your travel goals to focus on this year.

Challenge: Set your travel goals for this year! Stop with the "someday" talk. Use the workbook we've created for you, or use any other method you prefer, but however you do it, set yourself some real goals for 2025!

Travel has a way of deepening connections, turning ordinary moments into lifelong memories. Some trips bring old friends closer, some spark new friendships, and others remind us that even a brief encounter can leave a lasting impact.

Challenge:
This month is about celebrating the people who have shaped your travels. Look back on those experiences, appreciate the connections you’ve made, and start setting the wheels in motion for your next shared journey with the challenges we've created for you!

A great story doesn’t just recount events, it brings them to life! The right details, emotions, and perspective can turn a simple experience into something unforgettable. Some stories spark curiosity, others inspire connection, and sometimes, the way a moment is told becomes just as important as the moment itself.

Challenge: This month is all about the stories that make travel unforgettable. Reflect on the moments that have stayed with you, explore new ways to share them, and challenge yourself to craft narratives that capture the true essence of your experiences. The challenges ahead will help you turn your travels into stories worth telling. We can't wait to hear yours!

A photograph can freeze a moment, but the right one does so much more. It captures the energy of a place, the emotions we felt, and the small details that might have faded with time. This month, we’re exploring how photography shapes our memories, helps us reflect on our travels, and gives us a way to share the stories that matter most.

Challenge: From a photo scavenger hunt to a self-portrait that shows you fully immersed in the moment, each challenge invites you to tell a deeper story. Embrace imperfections, experiment with edits, and focus on the details that bring a place to life. It’s not just about where you go — it’s about how you see it.

Every trip leaves a mark on us. Sometimes it’s a shift in perspective, a new way of thinking, or an unexpected moment that teaches us something new. Taking time to reflect gives us the opportunity to step back, process what we’ve experienced, and recognize how far we’ve come.

Challenge: This month’s challenges invite you to practice reflection in many forms. You’ll get to reflect on travels that had a lasting impact on you, dream big with a vision board, create a memory-filled playlist, and build a reflection box of meaningful mementos. Let’s dig deep and embrace what our journeys have taught us!

Summer stirs up our sense of adventure, and for families, it’s the season when
possibilities start to open wide. School’s out, the days stretch longer, and there’s more time to dream, explore, and make memories together. It all starts with one exciting question: where to next?

Challenge: This month’s challenges invite your family to explore travel inspiration in many ways. You’ll dive into destinations both near and far, revisit trips that slipped away, and discover hidden gems close to
home. You’ll also create your own dream maps filled with personal touches and imagine adventures waiting to happen.

Travel memories don’t always stay still. Sometimes they move, in a laugh, a sunset, or a favorite song playing in the background. This July, you can bring those moments to life with video by creating a highlight reel of your favorite trips or an inspiration reel showing where your next adventure might take you.

Challenge: July’s Compass Club challenge invites you to create a short video that captures your personal connection to travel. You can look back on favorite memories or look ahead to what’s still waiting for you (and have a beautiful reel to show for it.)

Travel has a way of revealing how people really move through the world. This challenge is about understanding that before you book the ticket.

The goal is not to decide whether you should travel together, but to gain clarity, alignment, and fewer surprises once you’re on the road!

Challenge: This month, we’re turning our attention to the people we travel with and how those dynamics shape the journey. This challenge invites you to explore travel compatibility to uncover expectations, preferences, and patterns before the trip begins.

Some journeys are measured by destinations reached or boxes checked, but some of the most memorable trips are measured by the small, fleeting moments that take your breath away.

Travel at this pace isn’t about doing nothing. It’s just about doing it differently and noticing the colors, sounds, and smells that make each place unique.

Challenge: For this month’s challenge, we’re slowing down and tuning in. Our goal is to experience travel at a pace that lets us notice the little things like the sights, smells, sounds, and textures that can be missed when life moves too quickly.

Some accomplishments are obvious, like reaching a destination you once thought was out of reach. Others are quieter, like navigating a new place with confidence, choosing rest when you needed it, or finally saying yes to an experience that once felt intimidating.

Challenge: This month’s challenge is to reflect on your personal travel accomplishments, big and small, and explore what each reveals about your growth and resilience. You’ll connect those accomplishments to patterns or strengths that shape the way you travel and create a visual celebration!

Travel is full of stories, both planned and unexpected. Some trips are marked by big milestones. Others are memorable for the surprises, the people you meet, or the discoveries you didn’t see coming. We’re exploring how to capture those experiences in the moment, turning them into a record you can revisit and share.

Challenge: This month, focus on documenting your travels in ways that capture the full story, from your biggest milestones to your most unexpected discoveries. You’ll experiment with observation, creative storytelling, and celebrating your collection of experiences.

Generosity can appear quietly, in a single gesture that changes the day for someone else or for you. This month, we're exploring the ways it has impacted our travels and imagining ways it can make our future adventures even more fulfilling!

Challenge: You will reflect on times when you gave or received help, plan one intentional act of giving during an upcoming trip or travel-related experience, and observe how it shapes the way you experience the people and places around you. The goal is to explore generosity as part of your travel practice and see how it enhances your journeys!
