Collect experiences, not things!

At 1001 Unforgettable Trips we know how quickly the magic of new and shiny things fades, so for years now we’ve been on a quest for extraordinary experiences instead.

Want to experience adventure, the power of nature or foreign cultures first-hand?

Then say “hello” to our challenges! We have cool tasks suitable for anyone and all fitness levels. Some are fun and easy to follow, while others ooze with mystery, adventure and adrenalin.

So explore the list below, find your favorites, then attempt them at your leisure. This way you too can collect experiences, not things!


IMPORTANT: 1001 Unforgettable Trips is just a few months old, so at this time only a few challenges are described in detail (those with orange links underneath them).

Check back regularly for a larger selection, or even better — sign up for our newsletter and we’ll let you know whenever new travel challenges become available.
