Talk about making the most of your maternity 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。

　　說到如何利用好產假，大部分人根本就不會考慮打點行裝、環游世界，更不要說帶上十周大的嬰兒。現年31歲的凱倫·愛德華和她的愛人肖恩·拜爾來自倫敦，他們的女兒伊思美出生后，他們真就這么做了。

　　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。

　　小寶寶還不足三個月大，一家人便登上了飛機滿世界飛，去探索亞洲、澳大利亞和新西蘭，不工作的日子里，他們周游世界達十個月之久。

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

　　兩人一個登山背包，小兩口把財物裝箱運走，賣了車子，把倫敦的住宅租出去；而肖恩辭了庭院設計的工作。

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

　　總目標是為了鼓舞同樣熱愛旅行的為人父母者，其實就是讓你的小寶寶融入你們的生活中。
