What defines a “Bucket List” experience? Why do we feel compelled to do certain activities and visit certain places before we die? Today’s traveller has more time, and more money, than any other generation in history. What we lack are ideas and inspiration.

Renowned travel writer and international television host Robin Esrock has personally visited over 100 countries on all seven continents in search of experiences he describes as “bucket list.” They are unique, they are memorable, they make great stories, and you can’t do them anywhere else in the world. He’s put them in an inspirational book for both dreamers and doers – adding hilarious insights, fascinating trivia, page-popping images, unforgettable characters, and much-needed context. Spanning adventure, nature, culture, history and just plain weird, these are unique activities and destinations that make life worth living.

Designed to be both a book companion and standalone site, Robin’s Great Global Bucket List website features practical information, original videos, galleries, maps, tips, reading guides, a regular blog about the world’s best experiences, and much more. It’s like a piñata. Hit these pages and inspiration falls out.
