BY THE age of 10 most of us might have been lucky enough to enjoy one or two holidays abroad.

But before finishing primary school Aditi Tripathi has covered most of Europe and has even been as far as Malaysia and Thailand.

In total the 10-year-old has visited 50 countries, setting dad Deepak, 43, and mum Avilasha, 36, a cool £20,000.

Keen to ensure their daughter was well travelled the parents – both accountants – also knew the value of education, so made sure Aditi was present for every lesson.

The family jets off during every school holiday, making sure to incorporate bank holidays and inset days.

Deepak and Avilasha, from Greenwich, south-east London, estimate they spend up to £20k a year on travel.

But they say it's worth every penny – so Aditi can understand different cultures, foods and people.

Deepak said: "She gets curious and excited seeing different cultures like in Nepal, India and Thailand.

“We started travelling with her when she was in nursery age three and she used to go to school for two-and-a half-days per week.

“Now we pick her up straight from school on Friday and we take late night flight back at around 11pm on Sunday.

“Sometimes we have arrived on the Monday morning, and she goes straight to school from the airport.

"Travelling has helped her make more friends and has made her more confident."

The family saves throughout the year by avoiding eating out or takeaways and by not owning a car.

And both Deepak and Avilasha work from home so avoid commuting costs and save on childcare for Aditi's sister Advita, two.

They believe they spend between £15k and £20k per year on their travelling adventures.

And they say they managed to visit an incredible 12 places in one year prior to Covid.

Aditi has visited almost every country in Europe as well, despite her tender age – as well as Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore.

She said: "I don't have a specific favourite country or place but if I had to choose three it would be Nepal, Georgia, Armenia.

"Nepal was probably one of my favourites because I did horse riding, I went on the longest cable car, and I could see mountains like Mount Everest.

"I really love travelling and have loads of fun memories.

"I would recommend it to other children because it can really help with your social skills."

Deepak and Avilaha first took Aditi travelling with them aged just three, when the family visited Germany.

Inspired by the success of their first trip, they then worked their way around Europe – visiting France, Italy and Austria to start with.

They then started to branch out further afield.

Aditi and her intrepid parents have also climbed the three highest mountains in the UK – Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.  

Deepak says the family have a tight schedule for their travelling adventures, and budget hard throughout the year to make sure they can enjoy their time abroad.  

He said: “The first country we travelled to was Germany and Austria. We went to Munich and Salsburg – within a month of coming back, we went to Italy and then we started going further away to backpacking places.

“As soon as school is over or Aditi has an inset day, we pick her up straight from school and head to the airport in her uniform.

“If she only has two or three days of vacation, we go to places that are only a couple of hours flight away.

“On Friday evening we go straight to the airport and stay in the city centre, then on Saturday and Sunday we can make full use of those days.

“We stay in the city centre to save time travelling back and forth to a hotel and we walk a lot – most of the city centre is usually within walking distance.

“Normally at home we don’t spend time going to restaurants to save money to spend on our priority travelling – we only eat in restaurants on holiday otherwise we just eat at home.

“We also both work from home so we don’t drive in the UK which saves us money on fuel costs.

“We use public transport in the UK and on our holidays, we avoid taxis where possible.

“Last year we went to Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and then our second baby was born.

“When our second daughter was born my mum came to stay with us so me and my daughter went to Norway one weekend.

“On our last holiday we went to some unusual countries – we went to Romania first and then took a four-hour minivan to Moldova while backpacking and then from Moldova we went to San Marino.  

“I was a bit worried because we were travelling without mum for the first time – I was a bit worried but she managed really well."
