Testimonials

  • "Take the damn trip."

    The best people. If you want to experience a group retreat, these are the girls to do it with.

    Greece wasn't just a trip for me, it was a catalyst for following dreams I've never acted on.

    Fun fact I accepted a dream role for a fully remote company while on the Greece retreat, sitting outside our villa on the beaches of Milos. It was the start of something bigger,

    The girls (that are now my life long friends) have pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and do more solo traveling and persue content creation.

    I've never been happier or felt more fulfilled & it's just the beginning.

    I'll never forget one day in Greece we sat in a circle and spoke compliments to every person from our heart till we were all in tears. And to think we all showed up as strangers.. I love these people so much.

  • "10/10 would go again!"

    I was not sure what to expect but this retreat had so much to offer. When I arrived in Greece everyone was so kind and friendly. They did such a good job at choosing the group in order to make sure everyone's intentions were aligned with getting the most out of this trip! We danced, learned, laughed, and explored.

    They welcomed everyone with open arms and we all connected thanks to them being such great hosts. The Airbnb selections were so so unique and were in the BEST locations. You could tell they really cared about every detail of the trip. We created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!

    If you're looking for a trip to learn more about yourself, connect with like minded people, I highly highly recommend Bucket List Retreats as your host. I will definitely be joining their next retreat in the future!

    Amanda, Greece 2022

  • "The Greece retreat quite literally changed my life."

    I had been working an unfulfilling corporate 9-5 job for years prior to this trip. When I came across this trip, I hopped on a plane 2 days later not quite knowing what to expect. I immediately felt welcomed and that I had just made one of the best decisions of my life! Not only were they genuine but they were extremely organized with our itinerary and I felt confident in where my investment was going.

    We stayed at excellent hotels/Air Bnb's and visited numerous bucket list sites I have only ever dreamed of visiting. There was a perfect balance of time between content creation, learning, and fun with the group!

    I gained 8 new friendships from this experience and now am directly apart of a community of like-minded, driven individuals who are excited about life and exploring the world. This community is exactly what I needed and was something I didn't release I was searching for.

    Melanie, Greece 2022

  • "I know I was meant to be here"

    As I sit in the airport I can't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for this once in a lifetime opportunity. 2023 has been, without a doubt, the most challenging year of my life. I have been through more hardship than I could have ever imagined and have navigated through with courage and a resilience I never knew existed within me.

    Going on this trip, wanted to prove to myself that I can do anything. Not only climbing to the tallest peaks, but immersing myself into a group of strangers and traveling internationally alone.

    If my 2023 hadn't been flipped upside down I would've never had an opportunity to connect with so many beautiful souls.

    At the core of my being I know I was meant to be here to show that there is life on the other side of heartbreak. The tears, uncertainty, and immense pain l've endured all on my own have shaped me into the person that I am so proud to be today.

    Lindsey, Italy 2023

  • "pushed me to reach even more than I thought possible"

    It sounds cliche but growing up I always felt like I didn't belong, that I was meant for MORE. And no, that doesn't mean I think I'm better than anyone (in fact it's the opposite - I felt like I wasn't on the path I was *destined* for and I felt envious of those who were perfectly content where they were. I kept thinking "lord why the HECK do I not want the same things as everyone around me!? I feel so alone!!"

    Fast-forward to being an adult— for the first time in the past 2 years I have met others that can resonate with this same exact feeling.... And that community existing has pushed me to reach even more than I thought possible. (Shoutout Bucket List Retreats for making that even EASIER to find people like me!)

  • " No words, just gratitude."

    We had lunch with the mountains today. No words, just gratitude. When life gets crazy and hard, I'll remember this moment and our group and I will know that God is 100% with me always. Switzerland is absolutely magical!

    Canyon swing: Omg. I knew I was nervous going into this activity, but l've been hyping myself up about it not realizing how actually hard it is to step off the platform and into a 300ft free fall. I'm so grateful to our group for cheering me on and supporting me in this moment. It was probably the scariest thing l've done and also one of the most rewarding. I've learned many lessons in my life so far but these two lessons have been validated on repeat through out this whole vacation. 1. I can do hard things. 2. Having the support from friends in all situations, especially the scary times, makes all the difference.

  • "exceeded all my expectations"

    I had the most amazing experience at Lake Tahoe! The stunning beauty of the lake and the surrounding mountains made for an unforgettable hiking trip. It was also my first time snowboarding, a moment I will cherish forever. What made it even more special was the opportunity to bond with a group, all of whom were strangers to me at first. Our shared experiences and adventures created lasting memories that I will always treasure. This retreat exceeded all my expectations and I can't wait to do it all over again!

    As a mom who is constantly in search of real genuine memories with others is something that my heart always craves. I always had friends that would want to take a trip but never went through with it. I felt very unsure of how I would fit in, but everything about this trip was welcoming. If you have been in search of something bigger and better do yourself a favor and book your next destination with Kristen & Anna Leigh, they truly are everything and more!

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!
