Travel is More Than Just a Bucketlist.
A blog For Curious & Immersive Travelers

We’re Geena & Evan.

Long-term budget travelers and former van-dwellers hoping to help you get the most out of travel.

We’ve canoed through the Colombian Amazon, summited blue-fire belching volcanos at dawn, and trekked into the jungles of Sumatra to see some of the last wild orangutans. All for under $50 a day. But we also know when to splurge on a truly epic excursion.

We’re here to help you travel better.

Beyond the Bucketlist guides travelers down the path of immersive or experiential travel. Immersive travel is diving headfirst into the foreign & striving to understand a destination beyond its tourist attractions.

“We’re here to show you ethical wildlife experiences, support locally owned small businesses, eat traditional cuisine, and encourage sustainable tourism that supports communities & local traditions.”

We will teach you how to find hidden gems (even in highly-traveled cities), plan the perfect budget-travel-oriented itineraries, & give you the confidence to travel off the beaten path and dive a little deeper all over the globe.
