Founding Story

Fueled by a passion for adventure and frustrated by the void of a reliable source to find great things to do, Andy started Chicago Bucket List to keep track of the best experiences in the city to share with family and friends. Shortly thereafter, friends of friends began to follow and soon the community was in the tens of thousands. Recognizing the mega-trend of discovery moving to social, Bucket Listers seized the opportunity to expand and has become the trusted source for experience hungry millennials looking for new and unique things to do around the world. Today our Curated Guides reach millions of explorers and inspire adventures-big and small-every day.
