    Digital Desk: Every travel enthusiast hopes to visit all the major countries on their bucket list at some point. But putting this dream down on paper is simpler than making it a reality. One 10-year-old girl, however, appears to be living the dream, compared to the adults who fight for just a proper vacation every year.

    10-year-old Aditi Tripathi traveled to 50 different nations around the globe before hitting a decade on the planet. She has not only witnessed the happenings that many people often record in their diaries, but she has also accomplished this without missing a single day of school.

    The Tripathi family is on a mission to prove the idea that someone who travels full-time can ever achieve the incredible goal of visiting 50 different nations.

    In the course of her travels, Aditi Tripathi traveled to most of the places in Europe, in addition to Malaysia and Thailand. Deepak, Aditi's father, and Avilasha, the mother, made the decision early on that they wanted their child to be a world traveler. They wanted her to travel the globe without losing any progress at school.

    So they came up with a plan. The family now travels during school holidays, making sure to take advantage of the bank holidays as well. The Greenwich couple spends over Rs 21 lakh (just under 20,000 pounds) annually to pay for these travels.

    The couple, both of whom are accountants, think that Aditi's learning about other cultures, tastes, and people is priceless. According to Aditi's father, "She gets curious and excited seeing different cultures, like in Nepal, India, and Thailand."

    When Aditi was three years old and studying in nursery school, the couple started these trips. They went to Germany. Back then, she used to attend class two and a half days a week. "Now we pick her up straight from school on Friday, and we take a late-night flight back at around 11 p.m. on Sunday," said Deepak.
