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.

Resources:
BOOKS - The Happiness of Pursuit, The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big & Small, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day

MOVIES - The Way, A Map for Sunday, Tracks

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.

Resources:
BOOKS - The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck

MOVIES - Wild, A Map for Saturday

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.

Resources:
BOOKS: The Moth Presents: All These Wonders, The Power of Story

MOVIES: Midnight in Paris, Big Fish (2003)

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.

Resources:
BOOKS: Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton, The World Atlas of Street Photography by Jackie Higgins

MOVIES: Kodachrome, The Salt of the Earth

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.

Resources: BOOKS: A Field Guide to Getting Lost by Rebecca Solnit, The Solace of Open Spaces by Gretel Ehrlich

MOVIES - Under the Tuscan Sun, Away We Go

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?

Resources: BOOKS - The Magic Treehouse Series by Mary Pope Osborne, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

MOVIES - Coco, Moanaa

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.
