Hi, I’m Olivia a full-time travel writer, part-time coffee addict, and the explorer behind The Curious Compass. I’ve spent the last seven years chasing sunsets, getting lost in alleyways, and collecting stories from every corner of the globe.

What started as a solo backpacking trip through Southeast Asia turned into a lifelong passion for discovering places most people overlook. From vibrant street markets in Vietnam to the serene fjords of Norway, I’ve always believed that travel is about the little moments  not just the major landmarks.

This blog is my digital scrapbook and guidebook combined. Whether you're looking for off-the-beaten-path spots, sustainable travel tips, or honest hotel reviews, I’ve got you covered. I love uncovering hidden gems, supporting local businesses, and helping fellow travelers plan their next great escape.

So buckle up  let’s see the world, one story at a time.
