Compass Blog
Compass is a collection of blogs based on the imaginative research the Kensington team undertakes
to ensure we find new and better ways to transform travel into a more meaningful and personal
experience. In other words, we are always on the lookout for a secret café in Paris, the
best spot to find the black rhino, a favorite local dish, a superb hike out of Buenos Aires
and the next great hidden lodge. To accomplish this we’ve enlisted our team of destination
specialists. When they are not designing custom trips that wow our clients, they are traveling
the world for inspiration. In addition, we have pulled together a team of 'Explorers-In-Residence'
- Royal Geographic Society Fellows, Explorer's Club Fellows and leading adventurers with
fascinating stories. Follow these explorers and gain a unique perspective from their
awe-inducing expeditions.

During that time, he traveled around Southeast Asia extensively but never crossed the border to the west, in to Myanmar.
