Wanderlust at 10: Girl Visits 50 Countries, Maintains Perfect School Attendance

Soon after her birth, her parents, Deepak and Avilasha, felt their child should be well-travelled.

The term "globetrotter" is frequently used on social media today, mostly by travel bloggers who make a profession of sharing their adventures every two weeks. Many of us have travel and world exploration on our bucket lists, but not everyone has the opportunity to fulfil them.

In addition to the fact that it will undoubtedly be expensive, many of us find it difficult to carve out time from our busy, fast-paced work schedules to travel abroad. A 10-year-old has probably travelled to the most nations of any young traveller, while we console ourselves by watching travel bloggers explore the world from the comfort of our homes.

Globe-trotting student

The young girl, Aditi Tripathi, is from an Indian family living in London's Greenwich neighbourhood. Soon after her birth, Deepak and Avilasha made the decision that their child should travel extensively. They also wanted to ensure that Aditi's education was not compromised, so they picked her off during school breaks, bank holidays, and inset days to go to other locations.

Due to her regular travel, Aditi has not missed a single day of school. To expose their daughter to various international cultures, the couple spent close to Rs 21 lakh annually.

Cultural exposure over conveniences

According to the accountant couple, it is completely worthwhile. Because Deepak and Avilasha are so certain that their daughter needs to experience many cultures, they have reduced their spending on other items. They don't own a car, eat at home whenever possible, and work from home to reduce the cost of commuting.

Statement by Deepak

“She is fascinated by discovering new cultures, such as those found in Nepal, India, and Thailand,” said Deepak, according to a report in The Mirror. “She attended school for two and a half days a week when we first started travelling with her when she was three years old and in nursery school. Now, on Fridays, we pick her up immediately after she finishes school; and on Sundays, we reach home late at night, around 11 pm. Occasionally, we arrive on a Monday morning, and she goes to school directly from the airport. She has gained more friends and confidence as a result of her travels,” he revealed.

Aditi has visited nearly every country in Europe and several Asian nations, including Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. The three largest mountains in the UK—Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon—have all been scaled by Aditi and her daring parents.
