#11 The Bucket List Family

The Bucket List Family
Another Obsession of mine this semester has been The Bucket List Family, a family of four travel journalists. They are 2 parents, Garrett and Jessica, with 2 little kids, Dorothy and Manilla, with another baby on the way. They have been traveling all around the world since 2015, currently they've been to 49 countries. The coolest part is that they both went to BYU and served missions in Russia. Garrett was captain of the BYU soccer team and struck it big when he created an app called Scan with a team and sold it to SnapChat for 54 million dollars.

After selling the app, the family decided to leave behind normal jobs, sell all of their belongings and go on a 6 month extended vacation, chronicling their activities on Instagram and through weekly youtube videos. After 6 months they decided to continue their adventures, often sponsored by hotels, airlines, cruises and clothes company. They recently wrapped up a project with Disney called 30 Stays in 30 Days where they stayed in a different resort in Disney every day. I love watching where they go every week. They especially love water destinations, really anything with a beach. Plus, they have the most adorable kids. I also thinks it's awesome that they travel even with little kids. You can watch their weekly videos every Sunday and follow them on Instagram. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

  1. I love them too! They're so cute! I follow them on Instagram.
    Although I love them, sometimes I find myself getting envious, because they get to travel the world and post about it. I want to travel too, so I find myself wishing I could do what they do. It's kind of a catch-22, don't you think?

  2. This is my dream. I would love to travel with my family without any other cares in the world. My wife follows a lot of these types of accounts on instagram, we even have a couple in our ward here in Provo that does it! I just need a 54 million dollar idea to jumpstart my dream.
