带娃环球旅行八年,他们还不想停下来!

Except for a one-off trip to Europe, the furthest Jessica Gee ever traveled while growing up was to Walt Disney World in Florida with her family. However, over the past eight years, the travel influencer (网红), known as “The Bucket List Mom”, has visited more than 90 different countries with her husband Garrett and their three children Dorothy, Manilla and Calihan.“I never had the thought in my brain that ‘I want to travel around the world,’” Gee said. “That was never me. But the more I get out there, the more I want to see.” 

According to Gee, everything changed when her husband, who she first met while on a church service mission in Vladivostok, Russia, sold his app to Snapchat for $54 million in 2014 and decided to give up his desk job. “We were in a situation that maybe not a lot of people in their 20s are put in,” Gee admits. “We were sitting on some new wealth, and we didn’t know what to do. So we decided that we were going to set that all aside, and see what’s out in the world.” The couple, who’ve been married since 2009, were keen (热衷) to experience different cultures and “just learn a little bit”. 

They soon began planning a trip to Southeast Asia and decided to start an Instagram page, The Bucket List Family, to collect pictures of their adventures. After putting the vast sum (巨款) into savings, they sold their furniture and most of their belongings, raising around $45,000, and headed off around the world with their kids in August 2015.
