Welcome to Bronze Compass, where every journey is an immersive story. I’m Torrey Lee, a Chicago native, alumnus of Syracuse University and Thomas Edison State University, and in the final chapter of a 20-year Navy career. As I transition from service, I capture the vibrant cultures, local flavors, and unique stories of cities worldwide.

The Layover – A quick, on-the-go guide to must-see experiences for travelers short on time, featuring local foods, cultural gems, and sights in fast-paced videos.

Next Stop – A deeper dive into daily life and local charm, exploring 3-5 landmarks, meeting locals, and discovering what living there is like.

Behind the Compass – Personal insights from my Navy career and travels, sharing stories and lessons learned.

Armed with my Fujifilm X-Pro series, X-H1, and DJI Osmo Action, I capture each city’s pulse through a cinematic lens. Ready to explore? Hit follow and join the journey! #TheLayover #NextStop #BehindTheCompass #BronzeCompass #ExploreMore
