About the Author
Jessica Gee began the popular YouTube channel The Bucket List Family with her husband after planning to travel the world for five months with their two young children. Eight years and another son later, they've visited more than 90 countries around the world, have grown a following of nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers and 3 million Instagram followers, and continue to find ways--big and small--to add to their lifelong travel bucket list. 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.
