Built by a pain specialist for travellers who need more than generic travel advice.
Ticked Bucket List was founded by Dr Timothy Murithi Mwiti, a pain specialist and anaesthesiologist, to help people with chronic pain, fatigue, and flare-prone conditions plan trips around body capacity, hidden load, flare risk, and recovery.
One-time Starter Kit. Optional pain-specialist Advisory. Planning support only — not medical advice, clearance, or emergency care.Why pain medicine changes the way a trip should be planned.
For many travellers with chronic pain, the problem is not motivation. It is load: sitting, walking, queues, bags, altered sleep, unfamiliar routines, medication access, emotional pressure, and recovery time.
Pain changes capacity
Pain and fatigue can make ordinary travel demands feel disproportionately expensive to the body.
Travel stacks load
Flights, transfers, queues, walking, sleep disruption, sensory load, and schedule pressure can accumulate before the main activity starts.
Plans need backup logic
A useful plan should help the traveller know what to protect, what to simplify, and what to change first if symptoms rise.
A planning spine for body-load decisions.
The aim is not to make the trip look perfect. The aim is to identify hidden load early, protect the parts that matter, and reduce avoidable flare pressure.
Trip Load Scan
Spot physical, sensory, timing, medication, support, and recovery pressure.
Green / Amber / Red zones
Translate the trip into a clearer readiness signal.
Trip Snapshot
Create a practical reference for travel-day decisions, flare moments, and recovery.
Red-to-Amber Plan B
Adjust the heaviest parts first so the trip does not rely on everything going perfectly.
Recovery Runway
Plan the return and after-travel recovery before the trip starts.
Clinical expertise, applied to practical travel support.
Dr Timothy Murithi Mwiti is a Kenya-registered pain specialist and consultant anaesthesiologist with clinical experience in complex pain, perioperative pain, regional anaesthesia, and aeromedical evacuation. Ticked Bucket List applies that clinical lens to a narrow, practical problem: helping travellers with pain and fatigue make better trip-planning decisions before the body cost becomes obvious.

What this means for your trip.
The trip is planned around load, flare risk, function, and recovery — not just destination logistics.
Long travel, sleep disruption, altitude, motion, transfers, and medication access are treated as real planning variables.
The tools are designed to be explainable, structured, and usable on low-energy days.
The service supports planning decisions but does not replace your treating clinician or emergency care.
Start with the level of support your trip needs.
