About

Each and every month, we publish three in-depth, high-quality articles written by travel journalists from all over the world. We don’t publish puff-pieces, round-ups or sponsored articles. We take pride in storytelling and readability. We believe in a focused user experience and digitally-aware subscription prices. We know that asking readers to invest twenty minutes in a 3,000-word piece is, in today’s day and age, a lot to ask. But we also know that there are amazing places out there, and there are great journalists writing about them. Journalists who care more about a real story than celebrity gossip or click-bait copywriting. Most importantly, we know that there are people out there who still want to read great content. People like you. We’re here to share stories. We’re not here to generate traffic. We’re not start-up entrepreneurs or Silicon Valley venture capitalists. We didn’t start Compass Cultura to get rich. That’s why you’ll never see an ugly Adsense advertisement on our site (or any ad, for that matter). And to give back to the world that we all enjoy exploring, 50% of our profit is donated to charity. Compass Cultura is for people who like to travel and discover. It’s for people who are sick and tired of the bubble-gum travel section of their local newspaper. It’s for people who are fed up with airy 500-word travel-and-leisure blurbs published by major media outlets. Compass Cultura is your new alternative travel publication. Let us tell you some stories.
