Friend group bucket list

If you are looking for best friend bucket list experiences, look no further. This comprehensive list has ideas from the easiest to the ones that require some planning.

Your best friend is the person you do life with. It makes sense that you would want to have a best friend bucket list so that you guys can experience things together. You should get together and discuss all the things you would like to do and where there is overlap, create the list.

If your best friend has absolute no items on her list, dont add them. You will most likely never convince her to do something she refuses, even if you want to do it. Plus, you want to respect those boundaries. That is what makes you great friends. For example, if you want to go for a soak in the baths in Budapest and she doesnt like crowded areas in public, save that for your Europe bucket list and find different things for you guys to do together.
