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.”
除了去欧洲的一次旅行，杰西卡·吉在成长过程中最远的一次旅行是和家人一起去佛罗里达州的迪斯尼世界。然而，在过去的八年里，这位被称为“愿望清单妈妈”的旅游网红，与丈夫加勒特和他们的三个孩子多萝西、马尼拉和卡利汉一起去了90多个不同的国家。“我脑子里从来没有‘我想环游世界’的想法，”吉说。“那从来不是我。但我出去的次数越多，我就越想看这个世界。”
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”.
据吉说，2014年，她的丈夫以5400万美元的价格将他的应用卖给了Snapchat，并决定放弃他的办公室工作，一切都开始改变了。她和丈夫是在俄罗斯符拉迪沃斯托克的一次教堂服务任务中认识的。吉承认:“我们所处的情况可能不是很多20多岁的年轻人所经历的。我们坐拥一些新财富，却不知道该怎么办。所以我们决定把这一切都放在一边，看看世界上有什么。”这对夫妇于2009年结婚，他们渴望体验不同的文化，并“只是学习一点东西”。
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.
他们很快就开始计划去东南亚旅行，并决定在Instagram上建立一个名为“愿望清单家庭”的页面，收集他们旅行的照片。在把那一大笔钱存起来之后，他们卖掉了家具和大部分财产，筹集了大约4.5万美元，并于2015年8月带着孩子们去环游世界。
