最小背包客 3月大的她比你去过的国家多多了

 　　Talk about making the most of your maternity¹ 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.

　　说到如何利用好产假，大部分人根本就不会考虑打点行装、环游世界，更不要说带上十周大的婴儿。现年31岁的凯伦·爱德华和她的爱人肖恩·拜尔来自伦敦，他们的女儿伊思美出生后，他们真就这么做了。

　　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.

　　小宝宝还不足三个月大，一家人便登上了飞机满世界飞，去探索亚洲、澳大利亚和新西兰，不工作的日子里，他们周游世界达十个月之久。

　　Packing just one backpack between them, the family boxed away their belongings², sold their car and put their house in London up for rent - and Shaun left his job as a landscaper.

　　两人一个登山背包，小两口把财物装箱运走，卖了车子，把伦敦的住宅租出去；而肖恩辞了庭院设计的工作。

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

　　总目标是为了鼓舞同样热爱旅行的为人父母者，其实就是让你的小宝宝融入你们的生活中。
