A Unique Approach to full service travel planning

Welcome to Lucky Compass Travel Design where travel is our passion! I'm Vanessa, founder of Lucky Compass. I put my wanderlust and my love for travel into a unique approach to travel planning. My vision was to partner with our travelers in the planning process, get to know them, hear their bucket lists and execute a dream.

 

We specialize in crafting unique and personalized itineraries for your dream adventures with specialties in Latin America (Costa Rica is our first love!), Italy, Portugal, Spain, the UK, France,  and beyond.  With our firsthand experience and dedication to exceptional service, we guarantee that your vacation will be one-of-a-kind and tailored just for you. All of our partners are personally vetted and hand-selected to ensure the best experience.

At Lucky Compass, we only plan what we know to be true based on our very own experiences. We aren't planning from a portal of choices. We are planning first hand knowledge. With over 4,500 trips planned and our unique approach to travel planning, travel with confidence.

Our glowing Google and Trust Pilot reviews and client testimonials speak for themselves. We know travel and we will give you the experience of a lifetime!
