Central Oregon travel advisor and entrepreneur Erinn Shaw, owner of 2MuchFun Travel, has launched The Confident Compass, a new travel coaching and travel planning brand focused on healing, recovery, connection, and transformative travel experiences.
Designed for travelers navigating life transitions, burnout, grief, illness, reinvention, or personal growth, The Confident Compass combines personalized travel planning with supportive travel coaching to create intentional journeys centered on emotional wellbeing, confidence, meaningful connection, and restorative experiences.
The Confident Compass also provides compassionate travel support for cancer patients, cancer survivors, individuals living with chronic illness, and terminally ill travelers seeking meaningful experiences, memory-making journeys, reconnection with loved ones, or long-dreamed-of destinations.
“Travel has the ability to do more than help people escape,” said Shaw. “It can help people reconnect with themselves, process change, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful memories during some of life’s most difficult seasons. The Confident Compass was created to support travelers through those journeys in a deeply personal and compassionate way.”
The Confident Compass offers customized travel experiences for solo travelers, women’s travel groups, couples, empty nesters, caregivers, survivors, and travelers seeking restorative or purpose-driven experiences. Services include travel coaching, personalized itinerary design, small group journeys, river cruises, boutique luxury travel, wellness-inspired travel, and culturally immersive experiences throughout Europe and beyond.
Unlike traditional booking services, The Confident Compass focuses not only on where clients want to go, but also how they want to feel during and after their journey.
Key areas of focus include:
- Healing and restorative travel
- Recovery and renewal journeys
- Solo travel confidence coaching
- Burnout recovery and reset travel
- Travel for cancer patients and survivors
- Compassionate planning for terminally ill travelers and families
- Women’s travel experiences
- Meaningful connection and slow travel
- Travel support during major life transitions
- Boutique and culturally immersive experiences
With decades of experience in customer service, hospitality, tourism, and travel planning, Shaw brings a compassionate and highly personalized approach to the travel industry. She is also known locally for her work in public service, community engagement, and travel advocacy.
The launch reflects a growing trend within the travel industry toward intentional and transformational travel, where travelers increasingly seek experiences that prioritize emotional wellness, connection, and personal growth over traditional tourism.
“People are craving more than just vacations right now,” Shaw added. “They’re looking for experiences that help them breathe again, reconnect with loved ones, rediscover joy, and feel supported through the process.”
The Confident Compass operates under the umbrella of 2MuchFun Travel and serves clients throughout the United States.
