Todd and Leg in the snow playing

Meet The Team

Hey there, I’m Todd, and he’s Leg (the furry one). We’re glad you found your way to Compass and Pine, your one-stop shop for everything travel.

Our goal here is simple, to share the beauty of the world in an effort to get people to see the true value of art and land conservation.

We create visually stunning national park guides, breathtaking photos, restaurant reviews, insightful tips for your travels, and more to make your next vacation your best yet.

The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see.

Edward Abbey

At Compass and Pine, we are committed to conserving, preserving, and enjoying public lands.
