The world is a tapestry of cultures, each with its own traditions, cuisines, and way of life. Whether young or old, adventurous or contemplative, there is an inherent allure in exploring diverse cultures and landscapes. Well, a 10-year-old girl, Aditi Tripathi swears by this and has already visited 50 countries.
10-YO Aditi Tripathi Has Travelled To Nearly 50 Countries
Aditi Tripathi, a 10-year-old girl, has already visited 50 countries with her globetrotting parents, all without missing a single day of school. According to Yahoo Life UK, Aditi’s parents knew from the start that they wanted their kid to be well-travelled. Hence, they started travelling on every school holiday and even on bank holidays.
Sometimes, they even pick her up straight from school on Friday and take a late-night flight back at around 11 pm on Sunday. Sometimes they arrive on a Monday morning, and she goes straight to school from the airport. Aditi’s parents wanted her to experience the world and understand different cultures, foods and people, without losing any progress at school.
According to the outlet, Aditi started travelling when she was in nursery, at around three years and used to go to school for two and a half days per week. Despite her young age, she has travelled to nearly every country in Europe, as well as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore.

The Young Girl Has A Knack For Travelling
Aditi’s first travel was to Germany when she was three years old. Inspired by their enjoyment of the initial trip, they soon travelled to France, Italy, and Austria. She also mentioned that her favourite destination was Nepal. She did horse riding, went on the longest cable car and saw Everest. She also said that travelling helps build up social skills.
Travelling pushes individuals outside their comfort zones, encouraging personal growth and self-discovery. It promotes empathy and understanding, as individuals realize that despite our diverse backgrounds, we share similarities.
According to Metro, Aditi’s parents work as accountants and save for their travels every year. They forgo dining out, take public transit, don’t own a car, and work from home to save money on commute and daycare for Aditi’s 2-year-old sister Advita. It is estimated that they spend 20,000 Pounds (about 21 Lakhs) every year on travel, but they believe it is well worth it.
Truly, the love for travelling the world transcends demographics and age groups!
