HOTELS I WISH I LIVED IN: Rosewood Little Dix Bay, Amangiri, Skinopi Lodge, Singita Grumeti, COMO Parrot Cay
WHAT I CANNOT TRAVEL WITHOUT: A lightweight cargo jacket for the travel day - lots of pockets to put things in quickly! A good book with some tie to the destination, an eye mask for the plane, and a SlumberPod to put over the crib of my littlest one.
BEST TRAVEL ADVICE: (1) Have a plan for first thing in the morning. Know where the best neighborhood coffee shop is relative to your hotel and know where you're headed next! Leave the afternoon more flexible to see where the day takes you. (2) Chat with / get to know the hotel staff; it can be a great way to learn more about the destination and find some hidden gems. (3) If you're at the coast or on an island - spend some time out on the water. Sailing/boating days are often the best days!
THE REASON I DO WHAT I DO: I love being apart of someone experiencing something new. Often people are open to adventure, unique properties, and off-the-beaten path places; they just don't know where to start or how to make it happen. I love working with people to create a trip that's truly magical and memorable for everyone involved.

"We used Compass + Twine (Sarah & Lindsay) for our honeymoon getaway to St Barths. They booked every thoughtful detail. Our favorite part was the itinerary - we woke up each morning to a new adventure! It was the easiest way we have ever traveled. 10/10 experience!!" - Jacob & Sherry Waldschlager
"Sarah & Lindsay (Compass + Twine) have planned my family's vacations now for 5 years - from weekends in Mexico to summers in Greece. They find and plan so many experiences that I would have never found on my own. They create a truly unparalleled travel experience. Traveling with kids, I've also loved the upgrades they've often been able to secure. Sarah + Lindsay are so easy and fun to work with. Just love them - a great team!" - Victoria Lamb

Wonderful planner, carefree for us!
Sarah Driggs has planned quite a few trips for us, I’ll tell you specifically about a great land and sea trip. She listened to our wants and needs, giving us an itinerary that included some historical sites, some countryside experiences, many great meals, visits to towns large and small on various islands and flexibility to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Adriatic.

Everything we asked for!
Sarah Driggs listened to our wishes and delivered them. We wanted off the beaten path Greek Islands (in the Cyclades) with beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants. We wanted land and sea experiences on our own schedule with some history/archaeology and opportunities to meet local people as well. We truly felt we knew Greece more intimately. We finished back on the mainland with reservations for another great meal and view, followed by a private tour of the Acropolis on our last morning, with one of the best guides we’ve ever had. From connecting flights, to ferries, to rental cars (always ready and waiting for us) along with the kind of nice accommodations we had hoped for: charming, private, great views and great food within walking distance. Sarah nailed it!!!

My Favorite Trip EVER!
Sarah planned our family trip to Sifnos Greece and it was amazing! She found us the perfect little place to stay that was just steps from the beach and had room for all of us to spread out. She picked the best restaurants and unique excursions for us to go on based on what we liked and our group. We found so many secluded magical beaches from her recommendations that we never would have known were there. Will definitely use her for all our trips going forward!

Awesome experience
I’m not the best planner, so I was naturally anxious when it came time to organize my honeymoon. Thankfully, Sarah took all that stress off my plate with her hands-on, thoughtful approach to planning. The trip to Saint Barths felt like a movie and went very well. Everything was seamless and well organized, which allowed us to actually relax and enjoy the experience. Sarah was also incredibly attentive throughout the trip, checking in on us and helping with minor hiccups along the way. That kind of support made a big difference. I’d absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and detail-oriented travel agent. I know exactly who I will be calling next time I’m planning a trip!

5* Trip
I can’t thank Lindsay and Sarah enough for planning such a wonderful trip to London and Paris for me and my mom. From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully arranged. The itinerary was absolutely perfect — every activity we’d requested was included and organized by area, which made each day feel smooth and efficient without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out was how you balanced our schedule to accommodate my 82-year-old mom. Each day was full of meaningful experiences, but never too much — the pace was just right. She was able to enjoy everything without feeling overwhelmed, and that made the trip extra special for both of us. The restaurant choices were also fantastic — every meal felt like a local gem. From charming neighborhood cafés to memorable dinners with beautiful views, they clearly put a lot of care into those selections. It was a dream trip, and their planning made it completely stress-free.

5 Stars
Sarah and Lindsay at In The Know Experiences made our anniversary trip truly unforgettable. From selecting the perfect destination to booking every detail seamlessly, they were a joy to work with. Thanks to their relationship with the Montage, we received a room upgrade—and arrived to find a thoughtful gift waiting for us. Their personal touches and attentive service made all the difference.

Perfection in every detail: A truly unforgettable honeymoon
My husband and I worked with Sarah and Lindsay to plan our month long honeymoon to Italy in 2024. They made the process seamless and fun. Every detail was perfect, thoughtful, and personalized. From finding the best
hotels in each town, drivers for each area, and upgrades along the way. Each stop we were greeted with congratulations as well as gifts of food & champagne. Every outing recommended and restaurant ended up being
favorites. No detail spared. I look forward to the next trip we have the pleasure of working with Sarah and Lindsay.

Best Girls Trip!
Sarah & Lindsay planned the most unforgettable girls trip to Napa Valley. From the flights, rental car, and hotel to the winery tours and lunch and dinner reservations, they thought of everything! They were extremely knowledgeable about the

Incredible Barcelona trip
We recently worked with Lindsay and Sarah to plan a summer vacation in Europe, and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. They helped us organize a fantastic week in Barcelona followed by a relaxing weekend in
Sitges, and the entire trip was seamless from start to finish. In Barcelona, the itinerary struck a perfect balance between iconic landmarks—like the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and other must-see sights—and more local, off-the-beaten-path experiences that gave us a real feel for the city. Every day was thoughtfully planned, with just the right mix of activity and downtime. Sitges was the ideal way to wrap up the trip. Our weekend there was relaxing and beautiful, and it felt like a well-earned change of pace after the vibrant energy of Barcelona. Overall, we felt like we got to truly experience each city rather than just pass through, and that’s thanks to the care and detail that Lindsay & Sarah's team put into planning everything. We couldn’t recommend them enough.

2024 Travels
We were fortunate to have Lindsay Ridenour & Sarah Driggs arrange two trips for us in 2024. The first was an incredible three week
vacation in Italy. We traveled from Nashville to Rome, then to Maiori (on the Amalfi coast), then to Monopoli and
Fasano (in the Puglia region) on the East coast. Their planning far exceeded our expectations in every way. Our
hotel accommodations, the outstanding restaurants, the tours, and all the different forms of travel, from plane, train,
and private car were all perfect. Our second trip in 2024 was to Cancun Mexico. Our hotel, restaurants, and travel
again far exceeded our expectations. A beautiful trip! We were so impressed by the professionalism of Lindsay and Sarah's
planning and execution of everything that we will always look to them as our travel pros. We look forward to using them for
all of our future adventures. Thanks to Lindsay & Sarah our 2024 travel was definitely our best year yet!
