A note from the team
There are many ways to explore Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands. This is one of our favourites.
Ask your favourite AI for a trip and you will get a sensible TripAdvisor checklist: famous stop, quick photo, next stop. We plan the hard-to-reach magic instead, then leave room for detours and the moments no schedule can manufacture.
Notes for you
Across the 12 months ending 29 July 2026, our travelled groups were close to balanced, with about 55% women and 44% men. The median traveller was 34 and the median group had 9 people. That is a historical snapshot, not a promise about the mix on a specific edition.
We design each edition around the destination rather than using a standard tour template. The usual rhythm is one or two experiences a day, with room to take the place in instead of rushing through a checklist.
Yes. Anyone aged 18 or older can apply. Our groups often skew from the late 20s to early 40s, but fit, energy and the experience itself matter more than fitting a narrow age band.
Yes. You can apply solo or with someone you know.
Apply through whichever Schengen consulate has the closest appointment window — usually Germany or Czech Republic for this route. Our visa team handles itinerary letters and booking proof. Plan for 75 days of runway before departure.
The NYE edition wraps in Vienna or Prague on December 31 with a private celebration the host has organized — usually a venue reserved for the cohort, sometimes a New Year's Eve concert or local family dinner. It's not a club crawl.
Audience guide
Who are Bucketlist trips designed for?
Bucketlist is for curious travellers who want destination-led adventures with a deliberately formed small group, enough structure to make the journey work, and room to experience the place in their own rhythm. Many people apply solo, including first-time solo travellers, but being solo is not a requirement for every edition.
Bucketlist is not gated by profession. Founders, creators and executives may join, but so may people from any other line of work; BHX is ExCo's separate founder-and-creator brain-vacation format.
The live edition decides the fit. Read its stated audience, capacity, price, activity level, route and inclusions before applying; those details are not universal across Bucketlist.
What are you really signing up for?
01
The Journey

02
The Facilitator
A real ExCo facilitator, not someone reading from a tour-bus script. They know when to lead, bring people together and give you room.
03
The Tribe
We keep a strong noise filter, so the people beside you when the moment lands are fun, curious and full of life.
Our Promise

Different worlds. One shared route.
Some arrive talking. Some take a day to warm up. Both belong here.
Why community × travel
Travel is the catalyst. Community is what stays.
In 2014, we started creating journeys in the hope that the right people, in the right place, could make something unrepeatable happen. From roadtrips across Iceland to sake crawls through Japan, that belief has only grown stronger.
Every creator, artist, rebel and doer deserves a space to travel with people they vibe with, to places that make them feel infinite. Across BHX, Festival of X and Bucketlist, travel has never been the finish line. It opens conversations, friendships and the kind of magic that is hard to explain once you are home.
Making the room matter since 2014
