6. • Sticking together as a group
means compromises to others’
plans, leaving missed
opportunities for doing the
activities they want
• Communication between
groups that split up can be
difficult once separated
Difficulty finding
other people in
group who have
similar interests
Problem

7. “The people I hung out with were not
necessarily the people I would hang out
with.”
“[if I could change anything about the
experience] I would have something to
unite people of common interest to
travel with me.”

“There were definitely times when I
really wanted to go see something or go
somewhere, and a lot of others weren’t
interested…so I had to find someone
who was willing to go with me.”
Problem

9. • Mobile app service which allows
group members to create and
share location-based bucket lists
of things to do and places to go
• Provides a way for individuals to
share their own interests as well

13. Storyboard

14. Vivian is a junior student at Stanford University. She loves
music, art and romantic events. This year, she went to
Italy with Stanford study abroad program.
She got along with everyone in her study abroad group
during the planned activities.

15. But when it came to their free time and the weekend
everyone had their own suggestions of what to do.
Her friend, Bruce, invited her and 3 friends to travel
around Milan.

16. It is hard to travel in a group. Sometimes you have to
compromise others’ ideas.
Vivian had to compromise her own destinations in her
bucketlist because the group had already decided where to go.
Okay, that’s
fine..
I want to go
shopping..
I want to go to
fashion show! I want to go to
hiking!

17. Vivian wished to find new friends to explore her own
interests places in her bucketlist during her free time.
With BAX, she can do that.

18. She can see all different choices, other study abroad
students nearby. (Where to go, what basic plan is, who
they are, etc)
There is a new reminder from Michelle- she just post a
new thing in her bucklist 10 mins ago- “I am going to La
Scala Opera with 3 friends at 7:00pm tonight, anyone
wants to join together?”

19. Vivian love music. She was planning to go there for a
long time, but her group doesn’t want to go.
It is pretty close to her hotel. She added it into her
bucklist requesting to going to the same opera tonight
at 7:00pm.
We don’t want
to go there…

20. She was invited into Michelle’s group chat, and chat
with other people who are going to the same show.
They have fun time together at La Scala Opera at that
night.

21. Next Steps
• Build landing page
• Start building an audience (Facebook & Instagram)
• Talk to more people from study abroad programs outside of CCA
• Talk to program organizers/leaders/planners
