You First — Always
Doctor-run, privacy-first tools that turn hidden load into visible plans: calmer buffers, step-free routes, and fast rescue options — so more trips become kept trips.
We believe your pain. We expect variable days. We design travel and daily-life helpers that protect energy, protect meds/docs, and keep a calm “if today is harder” option.
Why we exist
Short answer: Flare risk, fatigue, lines, sensory overload, and brain fog derail plans. We turn those into variables you can see and plan for.
- Make load visible in advance: distance, standing, heat, noise, crowding.
- Build in recovery windows and seat density along the day.
- Offer step-free and low-load routes with timing cushions.
- One-tap backup plan for tough days — keep the must-do, swap the rest.
No miracle claims. Just calmer, more predictable days you can keep.
Our Vision
Short answer: A world where travelers living with chronic pain move from guarded hesitation to exploring freely with science-smart, dignity-preserving tools.
Our Mission
Short answer: Turn more trips into kept trips through pacing-aware plans, built-in buffers, and fast rescue options — at home and away.
Built for Travelers with Pain
Ticked Bucket List was created for travelers living with chronic pain who could technically go — flights booked, plans made — but still felt the trip was fragile. The real problem wasn’t courage; it was the invisible load: paperwork, medications, letters, mobility questions, flare planning, and energy budgeting. That hidden work made trips exhausting, scary, or easy to cancel.
Established and operated by skilled pain management physicians.
That’s why we say: your life is bigger than your diagnosis — and travel can still serve it.
Core Values
Radical User-Centricity & Ingenuity
We design with you, not for you — simple, science-backed solutions shaped by real trips.
Privacy & Data Sovereignty
Your data stays on your device unless you choose to sync or share. Local-first is the default.
Empowerment
You deserve to travel without begging for exceptions. We give you guardrails, not instructions.
Integrity
Doctor-operated. We follow biomedical ethics, cite official sources, and avoid hype.
Who We Are
Short answer: A doctor-run, pain-informed travel brand focused on practical wins in function, dignity, and joy.
- Credible tools: Journey Credits, flare-risk cues, energy banking, pre-trip optimization.
- Local-first: built to run in your browser, inside your Squarespace member area, or on a mobile page.
- Iteration: we refine continuously with real-world feedback from travellers with trigeminal neuralgia, CRPS, pelvic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, and post-op recovery.

How we’re different
Not a travel agent
We don’t just book flights — we map pain-sensitive parts of the journey (queues, sitting, temperature, mobility, meds timing) and give you low-load alternates.
Not a miracle clinic
No cure promises. We help you predict, protect, and recover so you can keep more of your trip.
Not generic wellness
Tools are built for travellers with real constraints: forms, letters, drugs, mobility aids, sensory triggers.
