Travelling toddlers

While many people dream of travelling the world once they retire, a pair of UK siblings have logged visits to nearly 40 countries between before they reached the age they would start school. Four-year-old Esme Bayes and her one-year-old brother Quinn have joined travel-mad parents on trips to Bolivia, Hong Kong, Peru and Singapore – just to name just a few. The Bayes family has made it to most countries in Southeast Asia and the Americas and is now making plans to head to Kazakhstan. Dad Shaun Bayes is a self-employed builder, while mum Karen Edwards is a nurse who writes a blog about their adventures, which they funded by selling their house in London.
