About Paul Fournier, founder and writer

Me on top of Mt. Luho in Boracay, Philippines

With 14 years of experience as a travel writer specializing in Asia, I focus on the depth of experiences rather than the number of countries visited. My approach emphasizes long-term stays and cultural immersion, providing readers with insights that short-term tourists often miss.

My travel writing journey originally started with Boracay Compass. I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback on that over the years, which inspired me to create a second website for my travels beyond the Philippines. That’s how Journey Compass was born.

If you have questions, comments or want to know more, you can contact me or see my LinkedIn page here.

About Grace Plant, the main writer

Hi, I’m Grace Plant from the UK. I was bitten by the travel bug early on in life, and since then, seeing the world has been a top priority for me. Even when money has been tight, I’ve saved all my spare pennies to fund my adventures.

I first started travel writing in 2019 during a year-long backpacking adventure across India. In the last few years, I’ve continued exploring the globe whenever possible, writing about my adventures and sharing insights on the best places to stay, eat, and visit.
