The Globetrotting Family Of Seymour

Published: March 22, 2019, 1:44 p.m.

If you ask 8-year-old Giana Wall about her favorite television show she'll give you a hesitant look.

Ask about the citizen scientist program she participated in while heading to explore Antartica, and her eyes light up.

She starts talking phytoplankton and microplastics. Then she'll talk about crossing the Drake Passage, encountering chinstrap penguins, and what's it's like to see an ice berg as big as a building.

That's right, the third grader at the Chatfield-Lopresti School in Seymour is an experienced world traveler, thanks to her parents, Lana and Gil.

Please click play to listen to the family share their travel adventures, and how the family plans to visit Giana's seventh continent by the time she turns 10.
