Meet the 'solo mum' who lives out of a van and travels around New Zealand with her toddler in tow - and even lets her son go climbing and hiking by himself.

Shoshannah Shand, 24, set off on a road trip to visit her mum, Raawyn, 57, in New Zealand, with her then 18-month-old son, Gary, after the lockdown lifted in May 2020.

She lived out of the back of the car at first but has since upgraded to a motorhome and is always on the road exploring with her budding traveller.

The mum-of-one has always been a lover of the outdoors and lets her son Gary, now three, climb and hike with her.

Shoshannah is raising Gary in a 'free range parenting' style - with limited parental supervision - and is happy to let him run around on the beach while she keeps a close eye.
