Seeing the Gorillas, with the music from Tarzan "You'll Be In My Heart" playing in the background, brought tears to my eyes and lump in my throat. How inspiring and beautiful.
(the U.S. is going through such turmoil right now with so much hate, lies, racism and division being spewed from people on social media ... THIS VIDEO WAS A BLESSING TO TAKE US AWAY FROM ALL THAT FOR A FEW MINUTES ... THANK YOU! 💓)
Same 😭😍🦍
I love this song sooo much, it was a nice icing on top of a beautiful and delicious cake 😍😍😍😍
I wish us humans were a bit more like this. Caring and peaceful to each other.
Same for me😭😭
I was bawling. Music ALWAYS make you feel such a deep connection with things.
Thanks for living up to the title of "influencer." You're doing a great job at cultivating and spreading love. Thank you Bucket List Family!
🌎Who loves the Bucketlist Family???🌎
I do
I do
I do
And I do to!
What is your favorite thing about them?
I love how you mentioned the division in the USA because it really can be impactful. I will definitely chose love and forgiveness
I don't normally comment on things but, "you can choose to cultivate love or cultivate hate," made my spirit light up. Thank you for breaking down peoples expectations and continually showcasing what it means to love people without conditions.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART?
Cali's smile 😄❤️
I love how you all were so respectful of them and all of your reactions were incredible this definitely made it onto me bucket list and I hope one day to be able to visit rowanda
I started crying when you'll be in my heart started playing as you guys encountered your first gorilla! Such a precious moment 😭
Side note: jess does not look her age AT ALL 😝
The Bucket List Family Cali’s smile and hair lol I luv the entire video the
@ The Bucket List Family....The GORILLAS ❤️
Wow, Rwanda should take the memorial on a global tour and bring the message of forgiveness and love. They have a powerful testimony to share! Today’s social environment needs to hear it.
How precious Jules and Jess are to each other!!! That's friendship goals y'all
I am from Rwanda
I found your channel and have been watching day and night 😁 so happy that you came to Rwanda 🙌🏽
And thank u for saying nice things...
Indeed it’s a peaceful and beautiful country
@Cynthia Kamanzi this video made me cry and smile, deeply. May my country people be inspired by yours. Blessed be your country the wildlife & gorillas, all who protect them & may humans all begin to recognize divisions and borders are human made and we Can unmake them.
I was holding it together until that damn Tarzan music started playing 😭 this entire video was absolutely beautiful. Thank you bucket list family! 🦍
Love, love, love that you enjoyed Rwanda so much! I have been visiting for the last 8 years and moved here over a year ago. Was so hoping to run into you. I think we went gorilla trekking on the same day (if you post to Instagram the same day). I was entertaining a huge group from University of Tennessee. They took away very similar messages. What if there were no Republicans and Democrats? What if there was no black or white? How can we live as ONE America like Rwanda has taught us? So glad you got to enjoy Kigali and Musanze, and it looks like Lake Burera if that was Virunga Lodge. Next time you're in country, we'll have to visit.
As for polarization--You have to be carefully taught. We aren't born that way.
Hey Bucketlist Family! I spent a month in January taking a class on Rwanda with my university, Saint Mary's College of California! I saw in your video that you got to meet Treasure, she was our intern while we were there and we got to spend every day with her. She is a true ray of sunshine! I am so glad you are sharing the message of Rwanda to so many as it sure is beautiful. Tell Treasure Saint Mary's says hi!
We love your family! You inspire us to make videos of our adventures on TH-cam too! That's crazy that you got to be so close to the gorillas! I think we would be scared haha
What's your channel??
Izz Poole we make weekly videos of our adventures! Last week we filled our house with over 1000 balloons, and a month or so ago we documented our trip to Brazil! Check us out and subscribe if you want to support us! :)
This is my DREAM TRIP! 😍 And you did an amazing job capturing it. You always have the perfect mix of culture and adventure and inspiration and tear jerking moments in your vlogs ❤️
Y'all I held it together until the instrumental Tarzan song came on and I just lost it 😭😭😭.
Jess, are you really 38? You said 25 years ago you were 13...
Anniloves21 exactly what I though! Totally though she was maybe like 30-32?
Anniloves21 no she’s 33 i just think she miscalculated :)
I thought she was late 20s!
I think she’s like 32-33 and garrett is like 28-30
I was thinking the same thing! I was like wow, she looks amazing for 38. I thought that she was in her late 20's/early 30's.
You guys are the best. Can you recommend any islands that aren't to expensive for summer?
My favorite video by far! I definitely am putting Rwanda on my list of places to go now. What an amazing redemption story and a true showcase of the power of love! 👏🏼
Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you guys. Thank you for teaching us and cultivating a community of love and self bettering. I’ve loved getting to experience Rwanda even if it was through the small screen of my phone...
Mind blowing video, very special place!! It is a miraculous place with the story 😢🌞, the gorillas!!!!!!!! Wow 😮
I have to mention how well Cali does, he is so chill and happy!! His smile just melts my heart 💞 I love you all so much, and your friends Jules and Brooks are just has charm to watch, you guy's are beautiful people with you heart at the right place. ✌🌍🌞😘💙❤💚
What a great example of “love thy neighbor “. We saw it on your faces as you told these people’s story, we saw it on the people holding hands, we saw it on the handwritten notes on the hanging pictures of those that were lost to violence. Thank you for such an heart felt and important message!
I love Calli's smile!! He's so cute!
The gorillas were so cool, I liked that when you go visit them, you have to respect their environment.
Rwanda's story is beautiful, we should all choose love and forgiveness!
Lots of love from Mexico ❤️💙💚 🇲🇽
Jessica's neckpiece, it says initials of her kids D M C!❤️ Love from India, this video was indeed very special...World peace is the ultimate solution, everyone should learn from Rwanda☮️
This is so epic and bucketlist! Thank you for sharing and letting us be a part of your family adventures. Lots of love from Germany
Manilla is growing up so quickly! He’s so well spoken now 😭
I love how you always choose Disney music matches perfectly
When I was 9-10 yrs old my dad went to Africa (Somalia, Nairobi, Rwanda, Kenya are the places I remember him being) We always struggled growing up, my dad would work 3 jobs sometimes, so when he got the chance to go work and help build wells he went. It wasn’t until about 6 years ago that I found out he was there during their civil war in 1994. I remember my mom always being scared waiting to hear from him while he was on R&R but I assumed it was because he was so far away but really it was because he was in the middle of a war. They didn’t want us kids to know, to worry. He came back with such a huge respect for the people he met and I remember thinking, “wow these people must be amazing!”. Now that I’m 34 he can be more honest about his experience. He had to be armed the whole time he was there, slept with his shoes on in case he was ambushed. It scares me now just thinking about it but that just shows how far a daddy will go to take care of his family. He risked his life to keep a roof over our head
Jamie Elizabeth wow♥️ u must be such a proud daughter
It was not a civil war but a genocide. The Hutus killed 1 millions of Tutsis in two months straight. Two months of full terror and madness. France, the gouvernement in place that time (1994), was complicit in the genocide... And still to this very day, hide and protects some of the perpetrators who started the genocide.
@@caroline5573 absolutely! Thank you! Sorry not sure how I never seen this comment
@@benejuliko469 omg that is terrible! 😢 I had no idea! I definitely have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for sharing that with me
@@benejuliko469 I would have to say the UK was also complicit as the root of the genocide was the after effects of the UK colonization tactics. The English favored the Tutsi's and that started the seeds of hate.
There is a book titled "Left To Tell"
by Immaculee Ilibagiza.
It is a horrifically hard read about humanity's inhumanity to one another and how hate can turn a heart to stone... but a small light can
change the world. 🌍
What a beautiful video to show the hope and beauty that has come from a difficult history. Thank you for sharing. "You can either cultivate love or you can cultivate hate." - TEARS
What a beautiful example Rwanda has set for all of us! Thank you for sharing this with the world. My hope is that more Americans will step outside themselves and learn the beauty of different cultures within our country and outside of it, and to choose love! Thank you for being so inspiring to our family and so many people around the world! Rwanda is now on my travel list for sure!!
Love this! Rwanda is added to the growing list of countries I would love to visit. Jessica you arent 38 though ☺
OMG , every single time i watch your videos i get positive energy and i feel so inspired by you, so thank you very much "bucketlist family ❤❤❤"
You're bang on with what you said at min 10:07. If anything we've learned is this...you can't think you're the best country in the world because we are one world living on one planet.
Jess in South Africa: this is one of my favorites!
Jess in Tanzania: this is one of my favorites!
Jess in Rwanda: this is one of my favorites!
I love her love for Africa ❤️
Sooo cute!!! (P.s I’m talking about the kids the gorillas )and what a Beautiful country both spiritually and the countries moral compass and how that they chose to love instead of hate over and over again.
AHHHGGH I been refreshing your channel for the past 10min waiting for this !!!! so excited! 💙💙😍😍
Thank you so much for this video. I have a friend and former student that came to the US as a refugee of Rwanda when the genocide happened many years ago. He lost his parents and siblings right in front of him. I have heard his story a few times and I always cry. Daniel is an amazing young man giving back to his community and sending money to Rwanda any chance he gets. Thank you again for such beautiful video and the gorillas. I cried the whole 18 minutes of the video. 🥰
You got so close to the gorillas! What an amazing experience
Thank you so much for paying such beautiful tribute to my country.
I wasn't born in 1994, but 3 years later. My mom was a nurse who had to give my older brother and sister for adoption, to a nice family from the south of France because she was identified as Tutsi, so as her children. They were 10 and 8, so old enough to remember her. She did that because she knew something was going to happen in Rwanda, everybody knew. So she decided that she was going to die alone but her children will have a different outcome. Far away from this madness. By the grace of God, she did survived to this 2 months of horror. She was so lucky.
During the genocide, she tried to move to Uganda, like many others. She became a refugee, she had to leave everything and everyone behind. During the journey, she did lost the little piece of paper that had the phone number and address of the family that adopted her children. She only had their names and some pictures they gave to her when they came to take away my brother and sister. For 10 years, she tried to find them. My brother and sister and their adoptive parents, believed that she was one of the 1 millions victims.
I took my first breath in a world of post genocide, growing up knowing what did happened. Why I do not have grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins and that I had a big brother and a big sister somewhere in France, that had no idea our mom was still alive and looking for them EVERY SINGLE DAY and that they had a little sister. Me.
Keep in mind that was all before the internet we know this days. No wonder that took her 10 years to finally see them again. From age 10 and 8, to age 20 and 18. We did miss a lot.
However, I do deeply love my country for all that it represents, it's beautiful journey even in its darker days.
Thanks a lot for staying this far ^^
Keep in mind : Love conquers all ! Peace
PS: my mom, my hero, my everything.
Jess is 38? 25 years ago she was 13? I’m confused lol
Teren Brome why are u confused
Ditto. Me, too. I think they try to make it seem like they are under 35. But I think they are older than we think. They just have aged really really well. Money helps of course and the exercise and good diet. Plus, I think Garrett is younger than Jess.
My favorite part? The feeling that came over me when you were watching the Gorillas, the fact that these animals accepted you guys into their midst unconditionally and the idea that love and acceptance prevails all. A hope that humanity will indeed prevail in this really scary political time in USA.
Omggg i love this video❤️🤞🏻 i also love everything from your channel!❤️❤️😘 i love you have a good day!❤️🤞🏻😍🥰
Very emotional video! I loved the gorilla watching very much; and each time I admire how brave your kids are on such long travel journeys. Your family is goals!
I also loved your statements at the end of the video: to love, to forgive and to stay humble are such important things in life.
THis video warmed my heart. What a beautiful country! It's for sure on my bucket list now, you guys make all your experiences positive. Thxs for sharing ❤️💚💙
I have missed the Gee family checked my phone all weekend waiting for this post. From Baltimore MD
My wish is that u start making longer videos.
Sophie Thomson Jacobs that’s cool I know silver spring is like an hr from me. We should start a fan club for MD lol
Cultivate love not hate! The first couple of minutes were beautiful. George Washington said that once our country divided itself amongst political sides that it would plummet! Division has caused so much hate, I wish the Rwandans could come and teach Americans how to love and appreciate each other, to love our differences instead of condemning them! I hope one day the American leadership can cultivate love and not hate.
You can either cultivate love or cultivate hate..
Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What you guys do is amazing! Thank you for letting us join and grow with you. Mucha admiración desde Puerto Rico. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is incredible ❤️❤️🦍 I’m so excited to see what you do in Uganda it’s a beautiful, amazing country 🇺🇬
I love you so much you inspire me so much with your videos Even im from Germany 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 keep going you are so amazing People❤️
Ich komme auch aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 😊
My parents come from Rwanda . They moved to Belgium because of the war that was in Rwanda !
LOVE your takeaways from Rwanda on love vs hate, and being YOUR best vs being THE best. You guys are... your best :) :) Rwanda is a place I'd love to spend some time.
1:43 I thought Manila said 'are these airpods' 😂 cutest thing ever
Try to be your best self, not the best. I ABSOLUTELY love that saying! So true. Also, I cried for the entire video! The gorillas moment was BEYOND!
Amazing beautiful families if y’all kids want to write about their life can start right now and I would love to have a copy 🙏🏿👍🏽💕🙏🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is still THE message. Thank you Bucket List Family, so beautiful! (your family, your message your photography, the care you take in every way.
Soooo, where are we going to next?!?!
The things you've said about Rowanda😭😭😭 and I'm with yall on worrying about our country being on that path 💔
As a Belgian i am deeply ashamed by this.... just horrifiyng. And the worst part? NONE of this had ever been brought up during the time I went to school. It's like the Belgian government erased it from our history lesson books... :s damn..
This video got me so emotional, I spent 3 months living in Uganda and visited Rwanda and Kenya during my time in East Africa. Rwanda is such an amazing country with such awesome energy. Although as someone who studies East Africa heavily in school it should be noted that Rwanda does still have some improvements to make as the country has extremely limited freedom of speech and several human rights violations. Nonetheless, its amazing how far the country has come. One of the reasons the city is so clean is because they have a national holiday the last Saturday of every month where citizens are required to clean up the streets and do public service (Its called Umuganda). Also, Rwanda has completely banned plastic bags for ten years now!! Can't wait to see the Uganda video, Kampala has a very different energy and not as much development. However, it is truly one of my favorite cities and everyone is unbelievably friendly. Can't wait till the day I go back.
I love you so much bucket list family
I live your video but this one was amazing. My school does a trip to Rwanda and I never knew if I should do it, but thanks to your video when I get back to school I will go and sign up. Love your work keep it up x
Naomi Sjeep you are welcome Naomi! You will fall in love with my country 🇷🇼❤️
I’m originally from Rwanda and I miss the beauty 😍😍 love you guys
your kids will have so many epic moments to remember.
The kids are growing so fast seems like yesterday Manila was a baby. Love you Gee family u have made me want to change my life. Stay safe
I love this video so much! ❤
The lessons that they're bringing up can also be applied to our country right now which is the Philippines.
This was such a beautiful video to watch. The gorillas were so majestic I cried. We watched the movie Hotel Rwanda in history class in High School and it was unbelievably eye opening, the genocide was beyond words. It fills my heart with so much joy to see Rwanda in such a beautiful state compared to what it once was.
I cry every time I watch this video 🥺 when you find the gorillas ❤️❤️
Don’t mind me just rewatching some old vids it’s hard to believe anyone would ever destroy the habitats of such beautiful creatures
Love how you showed their culture in this vlog!! 💖
I can see Dorothy coming back as soon as she's old enough. What an incredible video. I never wanted it to end!
I was happy to see Julianne hough I enjoy her and her brother Derek this was an amazing video
You guys are seriously the cutest family, May God keep you safe and healthy on your travels.
Thanks for making our Africa look so beautiful
As I sit hear and watch this video, the peacefulness of watching the Gorillas's play and frolic along with the music just makes me feel so peaceful that tears just flow. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! I’m not crying, your crying. What an amazing experience to have. So jealous of you right now.
Sending you all light and love from Coffs Harbour Australia 💙
The divide in Rwanda that happened 25 years ago is like the divide we have here in the United States now. So sad!
The footage n photos you will have as you all age r going to be priceless..can not wait to c more surfing progress..
Every one of your videos makes me smile and forgot the world for a while ♥️ thank you
The gorillas were awesome. I had goosebumps watching and listening to the music. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. I love being transformed and experience the gifts of the world that you share.
I love Cali's smile, soooooo cute and charming.
Guys! I’m crying right now! I’m so in love! Also, having You’ll be in my heart and Trashing The Camp, make me love this even more
Well, you have done it again! Such a beautiful and moving video for us this time. I always love your videos, but I found watching your time in Rwanda to be so moving. Thank you for sharing such an educational and profound experience with us.
