From Personal Dream to Passionate Mission: Why I Created Bucket and Go
Have you ever had a dream so vivid, so compelling, you couldn’t help but chase it with everything you had? That’s precisely how Bucket and Go began—not as a website, but as a profoundly personal project born from my passion for Adventure and meticulous planning. I understand the thrill of planning a trip and the joy of ticking off a bucket list item, and I want to share that with you.
Here’s my story—how a simple idea for a homemade travel guide became something far more significant: a website dedicated to inspiring and helping others make their bucket-list dreams come true.
It Was Never Supposed to Be a Website
When I first started researching travel, I didn’t have a grand vision for a website or a business. My dream was simple: my husband and I planned to travel full-time, exploring the world, immersing ourselves in new cultures, and experiencing places we’d only dreamed about. But there was one catch—I knew if we were visiting somewhere far away, I wanted to ensure we saw everything possible during our stay. What if we never got the chance (or funds!) to return?
So, I did what I do best: I started researching. And I mean researching.
My aim was straightforward yet ambitious: to create a personalized, homemade book—a detailed, lovingly crafted guide—for us to use as we explored new destinations.
Queen of Pinterest, Research Guru, and a Dreamer at Heart
I quickly became immersed in this passion project. Anyone who knows me knows I’m practically the “Queen of Pinterest.” I devoured Pinterest boards with hidden gems, itineraries, and insider tips. YouTube videos became my nightly entertainment—travel vlogs, RV hacks, and bucket list ideas. Facebook Reels and Instagram posts inspired new dream destinations daily.
My days were filled with excitement, discovery, and a growing stack of notes, screenshots, bookmarked articles, and scribbled lists. Each nugget of information felt like uncovering buried treasure. And slowly, my simple “homemade travel book” blossomed into a comprehensive guide.
But simply gathering facts wasn’t enough—I wanted authenticity. I connected with fellow travelers, RV enthusiasts, backpackers, and globetrotters who generously shared their experiences. Their stories fueled my passion, and their wisdom became invaluable to my growing travel guide.
Why Keep This Treasure Hidden?
As my collection grew, I wondered why I was keeping all of this valuable information to myself.
Travel planning can be overwhelming—hours spent navigating countless websites, scrolling through reviews, piecing together itineraries. I knew firsthand how exhausting yet necessary thorough research could be, and I also knew that many people dream of travel but struggle with the sheer amount of planning it requires.
And here I was, sitting on a treasure trove of meticulously researched, carefully organized travel information. The realization sparked an epiphany: What if I could make other people’s dreams more manageable and attainable? What if all this work could save someone time, money, and stress? With Bucket and Go, you can leave the exhausting yet necessary thorough research to me and focus on the excitement of your upcoming trip.
The decision was immediate and heartfelt: I had to share it. I was proud of my research, and keeping it hidden simply didn’t make sense. I wanted everyone’s travel dreams to become a reality—not just mine.
The Birth of Bucket and Go: Your Dream-Making Guide
That’s how Bucket and Go transformed from a private passion project into a public resource dedicated to inspiring, informing, and empowering travelers everywhere.

I passionately believe that no one’s dreams should be limited by a lack of information or overwhelmed by planning. If my hours of research can help even one person finally say “yes” to that trip they’ve always dreamed of, it’s worth it.
