Dorothy, Manilla, and Calihan have my heart and I would do absolutely anything and everything for them. I'm really close with my parents and siblings, they gave me a great foundation of love and family that I have strived to carry on in my own family. I also like dark chocolate, Michael Bolton, the Denver Broncos, gardening and looking at the stars. I'm always excited to try new workouts and learn some great cooking from different cultures around the world. I love exercising, nutrition, and cooking. His hard work began to pay off and instead of getting comfortable with our success we just decided to dream even bigger! For 2 years I worked to support our family while Garrett worked on his crazy ventures. I graduated and began working as an online marketer and web developer. That's where I learned a deep LOVE for serving others and experiencing new cultures. I'm originally from Denver, Colorado. When I was 21 I moved to Vladivostok, Russia to serve a mission for my church. Sometimes I let Garrett wear the captain’s hat but c’mon, we all know who’s going to get this ship safely to shore! ) FOLLOW GARRETT ON INSTAGRAM : I’m Jessica. My role in The Bucket List Family is mostly creative work including all the photography, videography, and editing. I've been searching for hobbies that might be able to replace the competition, camaraderie, and health that soccer provided my life for the past 20 years. Currently a lot of my focus has turned to natural body building. Once my college soccer career was complete I decided to continue my education outside of formal schooling and drop out. While at BYU I also played for the soccer team. After 3 special years, we sold Scan to Snapchat and joined Snapchat for 1 year in California. Together with my talented team, we grew Scan into a successful business. While a Freshman at BYU, I built my first app, Scan. But, now I have the best title of all, I’m Dorothy, Manilla, and Calihan’s dad.īefore we began our Bucket List adventures, I was a attending school at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Hey, I'm Garrett :) I used to be called Captain of my soccer team. Thank you for being an important part of our story. We gratefully remind ourselves on the daily and continue to humbly work hard and remember, it all started by making the decision to step outside our comfort zones, step way outside the norms of society, and follow our hearts for what we felt would be the best path for our family.
It will be a difficult challenge but we’re ready to take it on! Really, we understand how unique and AMAZING this opportunity is to take on the adventures of life TOGETHER as family. It will be an interesting challenge to find a balance between home life and continuing our travels and work as Family Travel Journalists around the world.
It’s a special place where our family can continue to explore, be healthy, and grow old together ) This most definitely does NOT mean we will stop traveling, but now our family has a home base where we can be a part of the community, around close friends more often, and be more consistently involved in activities like soccer, gymnastics, surfing, and school. We renovated a little bungalow on the beach in Hawaii. We’re grateful to each of you for being a part of this journey and we hope you’ll keep with us as our little family and this big adventure continue to grow!ĮXCITED FOR THE FUTURE WHILE FOCUSING ON THE PRESENTĪfter 3 years living full-time on the road and visiting 65 different countries together, we finally found a place to call home. It was a difficult decision to reset our lives and sell everything but we’re grateful everyday that we took that chance and were brave. After we got married, Garrett sold his iPhone app to Snapchat and that brought us to a major decision point in our lives, “WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT?” I was studying Advertising and Garrett was “studying” on the soccer team while building an iPhone app. We briefly crossed paths in a small flower shop, but didn’t start dating until years later while attending the same university in Provo, Utah. We started an Instagram and a YouTube channel called, The Bucket List Family.Ģ009, Garrett and I initially met during service missions to Vladivostok, Russia. Welcome! We are the Gee family, just your “average” family working from all around the world as Family Travel Journalists! Our story began on the 15th of August, 2015 when we decided to sell everything and leave home for a journey around the world together.
