About Us

Welcome to our world of wanderlust! We are a passionate couple who’s been together for 16 years. One of our greatest joys has been keeping a log of our little adventures. We love exploring the beauty of this planet together and experiencing all that we can. We’ve recently decided to open up some of our journal entries for online exploration.

Our blog invites you to join us on a journey filled with love, discovery, and the thrill of new adventures. From the vibrant streets of bustling cities to the tranquil landscapes of foreign lands, we'll take you on an immersive experience through our eyes.

But our blog isn't just about the places; it's a celebration of the power of travel to strengthen our bond and create lasting memories. Navigate through the peaks and valleys of our adventures, experience the joy of spontaneous discoveries, and marvel at the beauty of the world alongside us.

So, fellow wanderers seeking inspiration, travel tips, or a virtual escape, consider our ‘Field Notes’ your passport to a world where every step is a new chapter waiting to be written. Join us as we turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, one travel journal entry at a time.

Field Notes

Introducing Canteen and Compass: Our story began long before we crafted our first piece of gear. We started by simply writing down our travels and recording our adventures, capturing the essence of the journeys we embarked on. As we ventured further, we realized the need for gear that reflected our love for exploration—something that would truly enhance the experience. So, we began designing the kind of gear we would love to use ourselves.

Travel Gear

In 2009, the name "Canteen and Compass" came to us, inspired by two timeless tools every adventurer needs. From that moment, our vision took shape. We wanted to evoke the spirit of old-world travelers—those who relied on essentials made of materials that were built to last. That’s why we turned to natural fabrics like rich leather, rugged canvas, and sturdy metals, leaving behind the new-age technical fabrics in favor of something more enduring and authentic.

Our gear is a reflection of a time when the world felt vast and waiting to be discovered. Each piece is designed to bring that sense of adventure to life, combining practicality with the timeless appeal of natural materials. Through Canteen and Compass, we invite you to join us on a journey that celebrates exploration in its purest form.
