As you’d expect, travelling with a baby did throw up a few hurdles.

“Being in the same room as her all the time, it was hard if she wanted to sleep and we wanted to have a few drinks.”

“We had to take it in turns for snorkelling and diving but I didn’t mind.”

The family travelled for a total of 10 months, vising Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong along the way. Esme is now 17 months old and the family are planning another adventure, which will see them heading back to New Zealand and exploring Cambodia and Thailand.

Karen Edwards has documented the family’s trip on her Instagram and blog, Travel Mad Mum.
