At just 11 months old, Atlas Montgomery has seen more of the world than most will see in a lifetime - he's already visited 23 countries with his parents Becs Lewis, 29, and Will Montgomery, 31. The family of three, who live in the United Kingdom, has been travelling around Europe in a camper van since the tot was six weeks old, taking advantage of Lewis' maternity leave until early November. "It never occurred to me that you could travel with a baby. It seemed so unrealistic, but it is not that hard," Lewis said.

"It has been amazing - you can see every bit of his growth. It's great being able to travel with just the three of us," she added. So far, many of Atlas' milestones as a baby have been marked in each country: he learned to crawl while the family was in Switzerland, got his first tooth in Norway and began eating solid foods in France. They've also visited Italy, San Marino, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Czech, Denmark and Norway, among others.

The journey began in New Zealand and Singapore to visit her husband's side of the family. The couple then bought a Fiat Ducato van for almost $14,000 while making a trip home to the United Kingdom for Atlas to meet Lewis' parents, which has carried them on the rest of their travels. Lewis said that they have "plenty of space" in the motor home, as it includes a bathroom with a shower, ten storage cupboards for odds and ends, a sink and a toilet.
