I'm Cate, voice and content creator behind @catescompass. I'm based in South Carolina and spend most of my free time hiking and exploring the Southeast U.S. Finding hidden gems, incredible mountaintop views, the best local breweries, and unique Airbnb stays has been a passion of mine for years. The Southeast is home to so many beautiful trails, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers - I can't wait to be your guide for it!

I grew up in the Midwest and always had a passion for the outdoors, but I felt like where I lived was sparking any excitement for me. When my husband matched into residency in South Carolina, I made it a goal to get to know my new home and explore more. Here we are, almost 3 years later, and I am still shocked at how much I've seen. The best part? I still have so many things saved on my google maps that I can't wait to add to this map next year.

Inga Birna Friðjónsdóttir, born in Reykjavík, raised in the north part of Iceland has been working as a guide and traveling around Iceland for years now. Has a background in soccer, design, music and more but her passion for nature and the outdoors has become more than just a hobby as she started working as a driver and guide. Even though she loves adventures her drive is mostly directed to meeting new adventurers and showing them around her beautiful home country and designing experiences that will stay in their memories for years to come. There is never a dull moment on the road with Inga and she also knows how to give space for quiet moments with nature and creating an environment for connection to the powerful energies that the Icelandic landscape has to offer.
