You know I love Bucket Lists. I started a business so I could travel around the world and help people check buckets off of their lists. I gave a TedX Talk about bucket lists. I have my bucket list tattooed on my back (not true but sounds awesome).

It only makes sense that I tried to create the world’s greatest bucket list (in collaboration with Kyle the Intern, The Rachel Mayo, and friends*). There may be longer bucket lists but I can guarantee** you that you will find no greater list than the one below.

So, feel free and look over this list. Share it with friends. Steal items for your list. Tell me I am awesome. Leave recommendations for items we left off of the list. Read the list and make sure we don’t have any duplicates. Enjoy.

There were so many great travel bucket list items that we separated them by continent. We also tried to be as specific as possible with each bucket list item. Instead of just saying, “Visit Europe” (which is a fine bucket list item), we decided to change it to something unique to that particular area.
A good example would be “Catch a flamenco show in Andalusia, Spain.” If these items aren’t exactly what you want to do in each country/continent then please change them to fit your desired travel bucket list items!
