More About Ben Nemtin
In university, Ben Nemtin was unexpectedly hit with a depression that forced him to drop out of school. In an attempt to feel alive again, he created the world’s greatest bucket list with his three best friends. They borrowed a rickety old RV and crisscrossed North America, achieving the unthinkable. And most importantly, every time they accomplished a dream of their own, they helped a stranger accomplish their dream. From playing basketball with President Obama and having a beer with Prince Harry to reuniting a father and son after 17 years and surprising a young girl with a much-needed bionic arm, Ben’s message of radical possibility has inspired millions to unlock their true potential.

What started as a summer road trip turned into a global movement that is still going strong more than a decade later. The Buried Life, the 2010 MTV docuseries following Ben's bucket list journey remains the channel's highest rated show on iTunes and Amazon, and there is a new documentary in the works that follows his progress over the years.

Ben has achieved 96 of 100 dreams and he's set to cross off “#100: Go to Space” next year.
