Testimonials
Meet the founders
We’re Anna Leigh and Kristen! Our wanderlust has been with us forever, and it grows with each new adventure. Both of us come from small southern towns in the U.S., where we've faced the feeling of not being understood + being told that our dreams of exploring the world were too far-fetched.
Anna Leigh is a free-spirited adventurer with a passion for ticking off her bucket list dreams. Despite a successful career as a speech pathologist, she felt the itch to make her dream of traveling the world a reality. In 2020, she learned photography while on the road and now advocates for having multiple income streams. She's proof that you can reinvent yourself and travel the world, while still balancing a healthy relationship.
Kristen is an open-minded traveler who is always seeking the next spontaneous moment or creative venture. Starting her business as an acrylic artist, she's now immersed in videography and photography. In 2023, she reset her life, sold everything, and chased her daydream of solo travel while focusing on content creation and Bucket List Retreats. Kristen is on a mission to inspire others to chase their dreams, even if it means doing it scared.
Despite the challenges, we've had incredible opportunities working with tourism boards, hotels, and brands worldwide. Now, we have come together to build Bucket List Retreats from the ground up, and have now successfully led six retreats, with exciting plans for expansion in 2024!
We get it – the desire for more, the readiness to explore, and the need to break free from the daily grind. Bucket List Retreats is our way of bringing like-minded souls together, while checking off those bucket list items in the most breathtaking destinations.
At the end of the day, it's the people and the experiences you share that make a trip truly unforgettable… but imagine if you could have both stunning scenery and the perfect vibe of fellow travelers? That's where we come in.
We're pumped to welcome you into our bucket list family and hopefully meet you somewhere amazing across the globe!
