Some of the best memories in my life didn’t come from five-star hotels or elaborate itineraries—they came from getting lost on purpose, pulling over for a roadside attraction I didn’t plan for, or laughing with someone I love in the middle of nowhere.

​

That love for the little moments in travel is what inspired Compass & Lantern.

Based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Compass & Lantern was created to help people rediscover the joy of adventure—without the stress of planning every detail. Whether you're hitting the open road, exploring your own backyard, or just craving a new kind of experience, we’re here to guide you there.

​

Through scavenger-hunt-style travel boxes, custom kits, and adventure-inspired gear, we make it easy to step into something new. Each journey we design is filled with surprise, delight, and purpose—because we believe that travel should feel magical, even if it’s just a few miles from home.

​

The name says it all:
A compass to guide your journey. A lantern to light your way.

​

This isn’t just about travel. It’s about helping people slow down, reconnect, and make memories that actually matter.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your next story.
