Get Cleared for Takeoff!

See the world for only $16 month, one amazing destination at a time.

How It Works

Every month, we create photocards featuring the world’s best travel destinations + their stories. Each image and word is chosen with care, and podcasts on YouTube dive even further on each featured destination.

As a member of the Boarding Pass Club, half the fun is the anticipation when you open your mailbox every month: Where are we going next? The other half is the reliability: At the beginning of every month you open an envelope and voilà!...you hold a new perspective of the world in your hands. 

That's the transporting power of a travel photocard from Vast Compass with beautiful photography, a travel essay, and an inspiring quotation. All handcrafted by Allen and Mark. And every card hand signed by Mark.

But there’s more! As a member of the Boarding Pass Club you also receive a snappy bulletin with more history, more photography, and advice on how to make travel to every destination awesome.

Keep One, Send One

As a member of the Boarding Pass Club you don’t have to decide whether to keep the monthly card for yourself, or to share it with those you care about the most. Because members receive both a travel photocard (ready to mail), and a second photograph (ready to frame). It’s a win-win to share a thousand worlds, and include awesome travel places as part of your decor!

What’s Inside?

Each month's mailing includes:

• A 4”x6” photocard with lab-printed metallic finish photo on linen cardstock (really luxe!), along with a 200-word essay, inspiring quotation printed on the back of the notecard—all handcrafted and handsigned

• A second 4”x6” photograph of the same image as on the photocard, ready to frame

• A TRAVEL INSIGHTER bulletin—four pages of destination information, more travel photography, trivia, maybe a playlist, recommendations on guidebooks and apps, tours to consider, places to stay, what to eat. All from two travelers who have been at this a good while

• And every couple of months you get some extras—postcards (to frame or send), stickers, bookmarks, more, all featuring the world’s best destinations in fun ways

• Plus, YouTube podcasts on the same featured travel destinations are free to stream anytime

The Boarding Pass Club makes it easy to share a thousand worlds with those you care about the most, and keep the world’s best places close at hand to enjoy as elements of your interior design.
