Plan for your body. Keep more of your trip.
The Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit helps you stress-test a specific trip against your body’s limits and turn swirling worries into a calm, realistic plan you can share with your clinician and family.
This is educational planning support, not personal medical advice or travel clearance. Your own clinicians remain in charge of medical decisions.Who Ticked Bucket List is for
We serve travellers who live with chronic pain, fatigue or invisible illness and are facing a real upcoming trip – not a someday dream. You’re excited to go, anxious about the cost to your body, and tired of planning from scratch every time.
You might recognise yourself if:
- There’s a family visit, wedding, funeral, holiday or work trip on the calendar.
- You keep asking, “Can my body actually do this?” and changing your mind.
- You’re scared of a crash that wipes you out for days or weeks.
- You don’t want to “ruin it” for everyone, but you also don’t want to disappear into survival mode.
What the Trip Fit Check does:
- Shows where your body and this trip are most likely to clash.
- Helps you build a one-page Trip Snapshot you can share with clinicians and family.
- Gives you practical packing, comfort and recovery templates so future you isn’t planning from zero.
How the Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit works
Simple, repeatable steps you can do in short bursts – especially if fatigue or brain fog make long sessions hard.
Make a one-time purchase for the Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit. No subscription, no surprise auto-renew. You’ll receive secure access to a private area with the guided Fit Check and downloads.
Work through guided questions about your baseline, trip load and safety nets. You can pause, rest and return as needed. The tool highlights green, amber and red zones for this specific trip.
Create a shareable one-page Trip Snapshot plus packing, comfort and recovery checklists. Use them to talk with your clinicians, set expectations with family, and protect more of what matters in your trip.
We support the whole journey, not just the flight
Chronic pain travel isn’t only “day of travel”. Your body feels the load before, during and after – so our planning looks across the whole arc.
Build awareness and pacing habits that make future trips less costly.
10–14 days of small actions that lower baseline strain (not bootcamp).
Outbound and return – warm-up, movement, seating, and recovery buffers.
Balance rest, activity and flare risk so you don’t burn the middle of the trip.
A kinder first week back so life still works after you come home.
Our planning lens: Predict · Protect · Rescue · Restore
Behind every tool is a simple question: how do we reduce avoidable harm while respecting the limits and uncertainty of chronic illness?
Spot the days and segments where your body is most likely to struggle – long sits, tight connections, climate shifts, family obligations and baseline volatility.
Build buffers around those pinch points: pacing, route adjustments, mobility aids, rest days and realistic expectations for what one body can carry.
Create a calm “bad-day plan” so you’re not improvising through panic. Shorten the day, switch to low-load options, and know when to stop and seek help.
Give your body space to land and recover so the trip doesn’t steal weeks of functioning afterwards. That includes a kinder first week back at home.
