Durmaksızın dünyayı gezen ‘The Bucket List Family’

Teknoloji milyoneri Garrett Gee(25), yani Snapchat mobil uygulamasına Scan (QR okuyucu) aplikasyonunu 54 milyon dolara satan genç iş adamı, birçok eşyasını satarak son 9 aydır eşi ve iki çocuğuyla hayalindeki dünya turunu gerçekleştiriyor.

Gee, “Tüm profesyoneller gereksiz buldukları eşyalarını satarak, dünyayı gezmek için sermaye oluştururlarsa hayatın tadını daha çok çıkarabilirler. Eşyalarınızı gözden çıkartın ve mini tatilinizin keyfine varın. Eğer bunu yapmaya başlarsanız, daha fazla eşya satarak daha çok gezmek isteyeceksiniz. Deneyin, sadece bunun için gidin.” diyor.

“Hayatımı düzene sokmak istedim ve kariyerimi buna göre şekillendirdim”

Gee’nin macerası yaklaşık bir yıl önce ailesiyle Silikon Vadisi’ne taşındığında başladı. Gee karar verme aşamasını ise, “İş hayatımda koşuşturmaca içinde hissediyordum. Bunu sonlandırarak kendim, ailem ve evliliğim için anlamlı bir şeyler yapmak istiyordum.” şeklinde anlatıyor.

Yatırımcılar Gee’nin çalışmalarına finans kaynağı olmak için hazırken, kendisi tüm bu önerileri reddederek seçimini ailesinden ve seyahatlerden yana kullandı. Aile dünya çapında bir gezi yapabilmek için eşyalarını 50 milyon dolara sattı ve seyahatlerine yeterli geliri sağlayabilmek adına da “The Bucket List Family” isimli bir blog açtı. Yanlarında sadece sırt çantaları bulunan aile seyahatleri boyunca Turks ve Caicos Adaları, Tayland, Tahiti gibi yerlerde bulundu.

Bu tarz bir yaşamın herkese uygun olmadığını kabul eden Gee, maceraya atılmak isteyenleri de teşvik etmekten çekinmiyor ve “Bence, hayat yeni şeyler denediğinde daha da güzelleşiyor.” diyor.

We woke up to some emails that will totally shift our travel plans! ..So after Dominica we will fly to the USA and spend June in Oregon then Idaho then Utah then California. Then.. we don’t know! We try our best to plan ahead but as of now we have no idea where we will be in July and onward! The uncertainty of our plans is kind of scary, but also kind of fun, but also kind of scary! Luckily, our kiddos don’t stress over plans like this.. They’re perfectly happy just playing in a water hole kicking coconuts! ps. SOOO where are some nice places to spend time in July? Any recommendations we can begin to research? /// #family #bucketlist #adventure #lds #familia #travel #travelinspiration /// @beautifuldestinations @brighamyounguniversity @nat.geography @freshlypicked @travelsearth @vacationwolf @travelandleisure
