Jessica and Garrett Gee began the popular YouTube channel The Bucket List Family after planning to travel the world for five months with their two young children. Nine years and another kid later, they’ve visited more than 90 countries around the world, have grown a following of nearly 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and 3 million Instagram followers, and continue to find ways—big and small—to add to their lifelong travel bucket list.

The Bucket List Family has been named Travel Influencer of the Year two years in a row by the American Influencer Awards and nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award in 2023. After buying an 80-year-old bungalow in Hawaii, they have a permanent base for their three children—Dorothy, Manilla, and Calihan—for the first time in half a decade. But they continue to explore new destinations, from Alaska to Bali, as often as they can.
