Before You Book: Build Your Trip Snapshot
Check what this trip may cost your body before it becomes expensive, fixed, or hard to change.
For travellers with chronic pain, fatigue, migraine, mobility limits, sensory sensitivity, or flare-prone conditions, the hard part of travel is not always the destination. It may be the sequence: the flight, the transfer, the walking, the hotel setup, the sleep disruption, the backup plan, and the recovery gap.
One real trip. Practical planning support. Not medical advice.
Ordinary travel planning often misses the hidden body load.
Most travel planning focuses on destination, price, hotels, and activities. That matters. But for a traveller with pain, fatigue, migraine, mobility limits, sensory sensitivity, or flare risk, the overload often comes from the parts between the highlights.
- Flights and long sitting blocks
- Airport walking and security queues
- Transfers, luggage, and arrival-day strain
- Hotel setup, bed, chair, stairs, and bathroom fit
- Walking distance, crowds, heat, noise, and sensory load
- Meal timing, sleep disruption, pacing, and recovery
- Flare backup decisions when symptoms rise
- Return-home recovery that is often forgotten

What you get in the Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit.
The Starter Kit helps you turn one real trip into a clearer Trip Snapshot. The value is not more information. It is one place to decide what to protect, what to simplify, what to keep optional, and what backup plan to prepare.
Trip Fit Check
Review one real trip for hidden load before the plan becomes harder to change.
Trip Snapshot
Create a practical planning output you can keep open, copy, save, or print.

Pacing and comfort prompts
Think through walking, sitting, queues, hotel setup, packing, and comfort needs.
Flare backup
Plan what to keep, what to drop, and when to switch to the easier version.

Return home
What recovery space needs protecting after the trip?
Clinician-founded. Planning-focused.
Ticked Bucket List was created by Dr. Timothy Murithi Mwiti, a pain specialist, to help travellers think through trip load, pacing, recovery, and backup planning before travel decisions become harder to change.
The Starter Kit is self-guided planning support. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, medical clearance, or individualized clinical review.
Planning support only
TBL provides planning support only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, prescribing, medical clearance, emergency care, insurance advice, or full-service travel booking. If you need medical advice, medication guidance, or travel clearance, speak with your own clinician.
Founding Traveller Bonus
Starter Kit buyers before 31 August 2026 receive access to a Founding Traveller bonus pack, which may include a companion conversation script, a pre-trip simplification checklist, a return-home recovery planning sheet, and an invitation to give feedback that helps shape future TBL tools.
This bonus is planning support only. It does not include individual medical review.
Build my Trip Snapshot — $69Questions before you buy
Is this medical advice?
No. TBL provides travel planning and decision support only. It does not diagnose, prescribe, adjust medication, replace your clinician, provide emergency care, provide medical clearance, provide legal or insurance advice, provide full-service travel booking, or tell you whether you should travel.
Who is this for?
It is for travellers with one real trip in mind whose plans may be affected by chronic pain, fatigue, migraine, fibromyalgia, arthritis, pelvic pain, CRPS, nerve pain, Long COVID, sensory load, mobility limits, poor sleep, or other flare-prone conditions.
What do I get after paying?
You get access to the self-guided Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit for one real trip. It helps you build one Trip Snapshot with protect-first priorities, pacing and comfort prompts, flare backup, travel-day decisions, and recovery planning.
Is this only for people with a diagnosis?
No. The focus is trip load, not diagnosis. You can use it if pain, fatigue, sensory load, walking, sitting, recovery, or flare risk affects how you need to plan travel.
Can I use it for any destination?
Yes. The Starter Kit is destination-flexible because it helps you think through the trip sequence: travel day, transfers, accommodation, itinerary, backup plan, and return-home recovery.
What if I am not sure whether I need it?
Start with the free Mini-Check. It gives a quick first read and points to one next step: keep the plan simple, use the Starter Kit, or consider Advisory if the trip is hard to change or hard to get wrong.
When should I consider Advisory instead?
Consider Advisory if the trip is close, costly, complex, fragile, medically sensitive, emotionally important, or hard to get wrong, or if previous travel caused a major flare, crash, or long recovery. Advisory is still planning review, not medical advice or medical clearance.
Can a family member buy this for someone else?
Yes, but the traveller should still be involved in planning. The Starter Kit can help families and companions discuss what to protect, simplify, keep optional, and prepare as backup.
Is the Starter Kit reusable?
The purchase is for this trip, but the planning structure can help you think through future trips with different timing, distance, energy demands, and recovery needs.
What if my trip is very close?
If the trip is very close, focus first on simplification, travel-day protection, backup decisions, and recovery space. If the trip is high-stakes or medically sensitive, consider whether Advisory or your own clinician is more appropriate.
