Hello From Kennie + Kenny
Do you live to travel but find yourself hindered by costs, difficulty planning, time constraints, safety concerns, or fear of the unknown? If so, you have come to the right place! We’re the two Kennies, Kennie Schoenekase and Sarah Kenny, two NYC besties that are totally travel obsessed. We dream about our next adventure, spend endless hours researching, make incredibly detailed itineraries, and travel as much as possible! To us, traveling isn’t just about relaxing on a holiday, it’s about experiencing cultures, pushing our comfort zones, gaining new perspectives, and venturing into the unknown. Traveling pushes us to grow as individuals, as we view the world through new eyes, open our minds, gain appreciation for what we have, and connect with people from around the world.
Our Mission:
Kennie’s Compass started as a passion project, on a mission to change the way you travel by sharing our personal journeys and travel tips through our website and social media. Our aim is to help you get your dreams off the ground, experience travel to its fullest, and create lifelong memories! We hope that our website will inspire you and guide you on your own journey, as well as serve as a resource for you to travel smarter, not harder!
