Our Story
Two Wanderers, One Mission
We started Heart & Compass because we believe everyone deserves to experience the world the way we do — fully, joyfully, and without the stress.
How It All Started
We're Ryan & Wendy Henderson — a husband and wife team who fell in love with travel and with each other somewhere between a sunset on the water and a morning coffee in a city we'd never been to before. Travel has always been the thread that runs through our relationship: the adventures we've shared, the places that have changed us, the memories we keep coming back to.
Heart & Compass started as a dream and became a calling. We realized that the thing we loved most — planning incredible trips, discovering hidden gems, finding the perfect resort or cruise — was something we could do for others. And that when we did, we could take all the stress off their plate and give them back the thing that matters most: the joy of the journey.
Today, we work with travelers of all kinds — couples on their honeymoon, families building memories, groups celebrating milestones, and solo adventurers chasing something new. Every trip we plan is personal, because every traveler is.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Personal
We treat every trip like it's our own. Because in a way, it is — we've been to the places we recommend, and we only suggest what we'd book ourselves.
Passionate
Travel isn't just our job — it's our life. That passion shows in every itinerary, every recommendation, every detail we obsess over on your behalf.
Present
We're with you from the first dream to the last memory. Questions before, during, and after your trip — we're always just a message away.
