What you’re actually buying

mobile-first clarity

The goal is not “perfect travel.” It’s a plan that still works when your body doesn’t. You leave with clear outputs you can use on travel day.

  • Trip Snapshot (one page) Your safeguards, boundaries, and “if symptoms spike, we do this” rules — in one place.
  • Buffers (so you don’t borrow from tomorrow) Rest windows, pacing rules, and realistic ceilings that protect function and reduce crash-risk.
  • Plan B (Red-to-Amber) redesign Pre-decided tradeoffs: what to drop, swap, or shorten so a flare doesn’t cancel the whole day.

Our planning lens: Spot · Protect · Switch · Recover

Behind every tool is one question: how do we reduce avoidable harm while respecting uncertainty, limits, and real life?

1Spot

Identify the pinch points early: long sits, queues, tight connections, climate shifts, stacked days.

2Protect

Add buffers around the pinch points: pacing, route changes, rest windows, realistic expectations.

3Switch

Build a calm Plan B: quick tradeoffs that keep the must-do and safely drop the rest.

4Recover

Plan recovery on purpose — including the first week back — so the trip doesn’t steal the month after.

What we are (and what we won’t pretend to be)

Straight boundaries protect trust. Here’s where we help — and where we deliberately don’t.

We are a planning partner for your body

We translate your reality into a trip plan: pacing, buffers, access choices, boundaries, and calmer backups.

We are not a booking desk

We don’t just book hotels and flights. We focus on the body-load parts of travel that cause crashes — and how to reduce them.

We don’t do medical clearance

No diagnosis, no emergency care, no guarantees. Your clinicians make medical decisions; we provide educational planning support.

Why this exists

Many people with chronic pain can do the trip — but not the way travel is usually planned. This exists to make the invisible work visible: what your body needs, what to protect, and what to change early.

Founder Dr. Timothy Murithi Mwiti Pain Specialist

The aim is fewer spirals, fewer “I’ve ruined it,” fewer crashes — and more kept moments that still respect your body.

Privacy by default

Wherever possible, your answers stay on your device. Sharing is opt-in. Data collection is kept minimal on purpose.

What does “privacy-first” mean here?
We avoid collecting more than is needed for a tool to work. Some tools use local storage in your browser so you can pause and return. If a feature ever needs data transfer, it should be clear and optional.

Common questions

Who is Ticked Bucket List for?
People living with chronic pain, fatigue, or invisible illness who have an upcoming trip (family, work, medical, holiday) and want a calmer, more realistic plan that protects function and recovery.
Can you tell me if it’s safe for me to travel?
No. We provide educational planning support and decision clarity — not medical clearance. Your own clinician decides what’s medically safe.
What can I try without paying first?
Start with the free mini-plan, then step up to paid support when you want a full Trip Snapshot + buffers + Plan B redesign (and optional clinician review).

Ready to plan with less fear and more honesty?

Start where your energy is today: free mini-plan first, then choose a support level only if it helps.

Medical & Travel Notice: Ticked Bucket List provides travel-planning education and self-management tools. We do not provide diagnosis, emergency services, or medical clearance to travel. Medical decisions remain with your own clinician. If you feel unsafe or develop severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical care or local emergency services.
