1. Editor’s Note
By Lusine Stepanian

2. A Wild ride through South Africa’s Private Reserves
By Deborah Gilbert
“As we were trying to assimilate the wildebeest herd and cheetah, Raath nonchalantly remarked, “Let’s cut the lights and just sit here for a bit.”

3. Doorway to Zanzibar
By Ashley Bedard
“Stone Town is a maze of narrow streets; so narrow that cars generally cannot fit, leaving pedestrians and the occasional scooter to navigate them.”

4. To Sea or Not To Sea?
By Diana Lumani
“Albania’s unspoiled gem: Saranda is touted as untouched and pure.”

5. Malaysia in a Nutshell
By Neha Kirpal
”…an enchanting little village which hosts the largest hotel in the world - with six thousand rooms.”

6. Seville: The hunt for Authentic Tapas
By Lusine Stepanian
“While savouring the smoked rabbit stirred in tomato sauce you may start wondering how the barmen keep track of everyone’s order.”

Coming up in June:
The Compass goes Latino – Mexico, Peru, Argentina…discover something unique from the lands of Latin America.
