The five steps

1. Discover: browse activities, events and places. An activity is the idea (“See Oktoberfest”); an event is one dated occurrence of it (“Oktoberfest 2027”).
2. Dream: press Add to bucket list on anything you'd like to do, or add your own goal. Group goals with your own categories.
3. Pick a date: My dates shows goals with a date and offers upcoming dates for the ones without.
4. Plan: Plan a trip from a goal starts a trip with its dates and place filled in. Several goals can share one trip.
5. Done: tick a goal off with a date, a rating, notes and photos. My adventures keeps them all.

Questions

Who can see my bucket list?

Only you, unless you mark goals as public and set your profile to public; then they show on your public bucket-list page.

How do I add someone to my trip?

If you're an editor of the trip, click People on the trip page, type their email address under Invite someone and pick a role. Someone with an account can open the trip straight away; anyone else gets an email with a link to join. More on inviting.

How do I share a trip?

On the trip page, editors open the ⋯ menu and choose Share a read-only link. The shared page is a summary: the destination and dates, the budget level, and each day's number of plans and its restaurants. It never shows the trip's own name, who's travelling, travel, stays, bookings or confirmation numbers. Stop sharing in the same menu turns the link off. More on sharing.

Who can see or edit a trip?

Only people the trip has been shared with in the app, each as a viewer, commentor or editor.

How do reviews work?

Any member can review an activity, event, city or place from its page, once each, and edit or delete it later. When you tick off a goal you can share your rating and notes as a review too; those are marked Been there. Reviews are public and show your username. If one breaks the rules, press Report under it.

I added an event or activity. Why can't others see it?

New submissions are checked by our team first; you can see and edit yours under My contributions in your account menu meanwhile.

My city or venue isn't listed.

When adding an event, tick City not listed and type it; our team adds it to the catalogue.
