They say reading can transport you to wherever you want to go. Well, M. Judson is taking that idea a bit further with Camilla Compass & Map, a custom travel company with a literary bent. With a handful of trips per year planned around beloved books, they’re looking to really get inside the story of the places they visit.
The club launched in January 2018, hosting their first trip to New Orleans last February. (Check out some of the books that inspired them for that one.) They planned their next trip to Nantucket, where – like all their trips— participants got to talk to writers, tour museums, eat + drink, and explore the experiences that reflect what they’re reading.
