最小揹包客 3月大的她比你去過的國家還多

Talk about making the most of your maternity leave. Most people wouldn't even consider packing up their home and travelling the world, let alone do so with an 10-week-old BAby - which is exactly what Karen Edwards, 31, and partner Shaun Bayes, from London, did following the birth of daughter, Esmé.

說到如何利用好產假，大部分人根本就不會考慮打點行裝、環遊世界，更不要說帶上十週大的嬰兒。現年31歲的凱倫·愛德華和她的愛人肖恩·拜爾來自倫敦，他們的女兒伊思美出生後，他們真就這麼做了。

Boarding a plane when the tot was not yet three months old, the family flew across the world to explore Asia, Australia and New Zealand, for 10 months during their time off from work.

小寶寶還不足三個月大，一家人便登上了飛機滿世界飛，去探索亞洲、澳大利亞和新西蘭，不工作的日子裏，他們周遊世界達十個月之久。

Packing just one backpack between them, the family boxed away their belongings, sold their car and put their house in London up for rent - and Shaun left his job as a landscaper.

兩人一個登山揹包，小兩口把財物裝箱運走，賣了車子，把倫敦的住宅租出去;而肖恩辭了庭院設計的工作。

The overall aim is to inspire like-minded travel loving parents. It is all about incorporating your little person into your way of life.

總目標是爲了鼓舞同樣熱愛旅行的爲人父母者，其實就是讓你的小寶寶融入你們的生活中。

KAREN'S TIPS ON TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD WITH A BABY

凱倫就如何帶娃環球旅行給了幾條重要建議

1. Plan ahead - Check out the areas you're planning to visit.

1.提前規劃：準備去哪裏，做好攻略。

2. Pack less - There are things that we took that we could have done without.

2.輕裝出行：我們所帶的物品都是非帶不可的。

3. Bring a harness - You will definitely need some kind of baby-wearing contraption.

3.帶上揹帶：寶寶的穿戴設備一定用得上。

4. Take new small toys -Load up the iPad with apps for little ones on plane journeys.

4.帶些嶄新的小玩具：蘋果平板電腦上給小孩裝好各種應用供飛機旅行之需。

5. Pack enough supplies - Bring lots of baby's favourite snacks.

5.補給品裝足：多帶點寶寶愛吃的零嘴。

6. Don't over do it with nappies - You can get them when you get there.

6.不用帶太多紙尿褲：到地兒了買得到。

7. Try and breastfeed - It is not fully known if mum passes on immunity from travel vaccinations. However with all the other benefits you would think it does something.

7.嘗試着母乳餵養：尚不知媽媽接種旅行疫苗後寶寶是否一樣有免疫力，但母乳的其它好處會讓你覺得確實不同一般。

8. Don't miss out on experiences - You can take turns with things such as diving and snorkelling.

8.有些體驗不容錯過：你可以換換花樣，體驗跳水和浮潛。

9. Never be scared - Let your baby try local foods to develop their palate.

9.不要害怕：讓你的寶寶嚐嚐當地食物、開啓味蕾。
