Encourage CompassChaos13: Universal University

No One Ever Graduates

Travel is the universe’s greatest classroom, and our mission at CompassChaos13 is to keep the doors open, the lessons challenging, and the perspective constantly shifting. We are dedicated to the "travel heartbeat"—the deep, transformative truth—not just the surface pulse.

Your encouragement isn't just a donation; it's the Travel Blood of the next planned break-through for our entire global community.

Why Your Support Is Our Momentum

Every story / memory we share, every perspective we shift, and every wall we demolish requires time, resources, and freedom from the mundane. Your encouragement directly maintains the infrastructure that makes this learning possible:

1. Sustaining the Universal University Infrastructure (Overhead)

To deliver high-quality content—the lessons from the field—we need reliable tools and robust legal protection. Your encouragement directly covers the essential costs that keep the University running smoothly and safely:

  • Legal & Intellectual Property: Fees for the LLC, copyright, tradename, and necessary licensing to legally protect our content and hosts.

  • Digital Campus: Hosting and maintenance for the website and blog (SEO-optimized for reaching new students), plus security and cloud storage.

  • Media Production: Costs for the podcast, video, and audio production (editing software, licensing, microphones, and video gear).

  • Operations: Essential supplies (for Compass's meticulous planning), software subscriptions, and equipment upgrades. Endless supply of caffeine & child-safe darts (for keeping Chaos entertained. WARNING: CHAOS is not allowed sharp objects)

  • Continuing Education: We are actively learning the skills required to master Podcasting, Website Building & Design, Audio & Video recording and editing along with so much more. We are not techie and this is out of all 3, of our comfort zones! (Even Chaos, but she is having fun with the website design)

2. Funding the Fieldwork (Stories)

We believe full in, head under water immersion for every travel experience. If we are going to invest ~ time, energy, mental power and finances into a destination, WE GO HEAD FIRST ~ LANDING NEEDS WORK.

True "planned break-throughs" happen when we're fully engaged in the lesson. Your encouragement significantly helps assist in the cost for travel necessary to gather rich, authentic stories and experiences.

This is especially vital for our community:

"Your encouragement allows us to travel further, stay longer, and share deeper stories for those who live vicariously through this podcast because they can't travel—but who can still live and learn along with us."

3. Protecting the Core Team / Keeping the Focus

The maintenance of the demanding schedule; creating, recording & editing, deep content while navigating the realities of life (standard 40 hour job & of course domestic duties 😒), the hosts need dedicated time. Your support encourages the managing of our external demands &:

  • Cleopatra's Security: Financial Encouragement also helps in keeping our dog, Cleopatra, safe while traveling covering her care and ensuring she keeps flying around the yard chasing tennis balls when we are home. This stability allows us to dedicate our focus entirely to the podcast and research when we are not working our separate 40-hour week jobs, domestic duties and traveling.

4. FUTURE HORIZIONS (Global Kinship and Climate)

As our Universal University grows, we are committed to moving beyond content creation & into direct, tangible action. This world will always change; how we direct that change is vital to our survival. The bi-product of our “intellectual growth” has both shrunk & expanded the gap of humanity expeditiously.

We ARE the center of realignment ~ with ourselves, each other & our planet.

Your encouragement helps us build the foundation to achieve our future goals:

  • Future Charity Development: Planning, establishing, and eventually collaborating with charities that empower Women & Children globally. Focusing on:

  • CLEAN: Water ~ Food ~ Air

  • SECURITY: Self ~ Children ~ Hearth

  • PERSONAL RESISTANCE: ~ Mental ~ Emotion ~ Financial

  • Global Stewardship: Initiatives dedicated to helping Countries balance over-tourism and climate change impacts, ensuring the Universal Classroom remains viable for future generations.
