Meet the 25-year-old tech millionaire who sold everything to travel the world with his wife and two young children... jealous yet?

  • Millionaire Garrett Gee, wife, Jessica, and two children, Dorothy and Manilla, have been travelling for nine months
  • Destination highlights for the family have included visits to Tonga, Fiji, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand
  • The adventure has also had its downsides such as when Dorothy needed stitches and Garrett caught the Zika virus
  • Garrett sold his mobile scanning app QR to Snapchat last year for $54million and then decided to head off on travels

A beautiful young family has turned the internet green with envy after posting to-die-for photos of their jet-setting adventures.

Millionaire Garrett Gee, 25, his wife, Jessica, 29, and their two children, Dorothy, three, and Manilla, one, have been travelling the world for nine months.

The picture perfect family have ticked much of the Pacific Ocean off their bucket list and completed a number of jaw-dropping activities along the way, such as swimming with sperm whale and watching Leatherback turtles lay eggs.

After Garrett sold mobile scanning app QR to Snapchat last year for $54million (£37million), the couple from Utah, USA, banked their millions and have been living off the $45,000 they made from the sale of their belongings. Pictured: Jessica and Manilla in the Bahamas with swimming pigs

In 2015, the picture perfect family embarked on an adventure ticking much of the Pacific Ocean off their bucket list. Pictured: Garrett throwing three-year-old Dorothy who is mimicking a plane coming in to land over Maho Beach in Saint Martin

Pit stops for 'The Bucket List Family' as they are known on Instagram, where they have 93,000 followers, have included Tonga, Fiji, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and many more.

After Garrett sold mobile scanning app QR to Snapchat last year for $54million (£37million), the family sold most of their possessions and packed the rest into two backpacks.

The couple from Utah, USA, banked their millions and have been living off the $45,000 they made from the sale of their belongings, since their departure in 2015.

Originally they set off for five months, but nine months later they have no plans of returning.

Jessica said: 'We have always loved to travel but before this, our longest trip with the children was one week.

'When my husband and I would travel before we had children we could be as adventurous or risky and frugal as we wanted.

'We could sleep on a couch, or save money by staying in a sketchy part of town.

'But travelling with our children has changed things a lot.

'At first we tried travelling with a nanny but that was too expensive for us so now we just find local nanny help whenever we need. Also, we no longer sleep on couches.

'Now, we spend the extra money to make sure we're staying at nice places in safe areas.

'However, it's all totally worth it every time we arrive to a new country and explore a new place together as a family.

'Our kids make travelling more enjoyable and more rewarding and we're grateful for these memories we're gathering together.

'We really loved it even more so than we thought we would and the children were doing great so we decided to keep going.

'Now, we've been going over nine months with no end in sight.'

However, Jessica did admit travelling with kids has its own health hazards.

She added: 'The most stressful times are travel days. Our kids do really well on flights and long journeys but travel days are just difficult.

'Our travels have been filled with many highs but also some lows. It was a scary day in Thailand when our little girl Dorothy slipped in the shower and cut her chin.

'We had to rush her to the hospital for stitches. It was scary but the doctor and nurses in Thailand took great care of us and everything worked out well.'

Garrett also caught the Zika virus from a mosquito in Dominica, but Jessica insists the good times have far outnumbered the bad.

She said: 'There have been major highlights like the time Garrett touched the tail of a mother humpback whale while swimming in the waters of Tonga.

'Or the 10 days we spent living on a sailboat in beautiful Bora Bora. We just left Dominica where we swam with sperm whales and watched great leather back turtles lay their eggs.'

Jessica added: 'We plan a lot of our travels and activities around lessons we hope for our children to learn.

'Travelling to different cultures all around the world is a wonderful way to develop kind hearts, a love for the planet, and open minds towards all people from all different backgrounds.

'There have also been countless moments of simple love and goodness. Times like late night hot tub sessions as a family just chatting and laughing.

'Perhaps above everything, the greatest blessing of these travels has been the unique amount of quality time we're spending together as a family.'
