Bucket List Ideas: 211 Fun, Unique, & Travel IdeasWhat is a bucket list and how do you make one for yourself? Explore these bucket list ideas for couples, for travel, and for other fun adventures that can help you get the most out of life.
What Is a Bucket List? (A Definition)A bucket list is a list of experiences one wants to have before they die. It comes from the phrase “kick the bucket”, which means to die. So, it’s a list of things we want to do before we kick the bucket.
Often, a bucket list includes big dreams, aspirations, travel, and fun things we’d like to experience in our lives. Given that engaging in positive activities is good for our well-being (Catalino, Algoe, & Fredrickson, 2014), checking off things on our bucket list may also be good for our well-being. Perhaps less often, a bucket list also includes simpler pleasures or less extravagant things we want to do. Both of these types of activities can be helpful for improving our quality of life, creating a routine that we enjoy, and living life to the fullest. In fact, simple pleasures may be especially beneficial to our well-being since contentment, more than happiness, may be central to what it means to live a fulfilling life (Cordaro, Brackett, Glass, & Anderson, 2016). Plus, many of us may not be able to afford the big-ticket items that show up on many bucket lists. That’s okay, because many of the things that make us truly happy in life—in the longer term—can be done close to home with the people we love. So, let’s get started exploring bucket list items that can hopefully help you create a more enjoyable, satisfying life. Are You a Therapist, Coach, or Wellness Entrepreneur?
