Raised in the rugged beauty of Alaska, our owner developed a deep appreciation for perspective and purposeful travel. After high school, military service expanded that view—transforming travel into lessons in adaptability, resilience, and cultural connection. One truth has always remained: Every journey shifts something in you. Sometimes it’s a change of pace. Sometimes, a change of heart.
That belief became the compass behind Shifted Compass—a travel agency rooted in insider knowledge of Alaska and a passion for meaningful exploration. Today, we design travel experiences that go beyond the itinerary—creating space for connection, reflection, and transformation.
Because it’s never just about where you go—it’s about where it takes you, within.
At Shifted Compass, our mission is to craft thoughtful, purposeful travel experiences that inspire perspective, foster meaningful connections, and guide every journey with care. Through expert planning, trusted partnerships, and personalized support, we help travelers explore the world with intention—whether near, far, or beyond. Every journey we plan reflects the values that guide us.
We believe that stepping into new cultures, landscapes, and experiences shifts how we see the world — and ourselves.
Whether you're traveling solo, as a family, or with a group, we create journeys that invite reflection and broaden horizons.
Every trip is intentional. From cruise itineraries to private tours, our planning is rooted in care, expertise, and personalization.
We help you travel deeper, not just farther — with seamless logistics, local insights, and meaningful moments built in.
Travel is most rewarding when it connects us — to places, people, and each other.
We foster authentic connections through small group experiences, family-friendly adventures, and opportunities to engage with local cultures in respectful, enriching ways.
Learning and growing—so we can guide you with clarity wherever your path leads.
