Timaru family travel New Zealand with their children and dog

 

A Timaru couple has chosen to break out of the rat race and live a life on the road, travelling New Zealand in a house truck with their three children and dog.

 

Trudi Rainey said she and husband, Heath, both 41, wanted to break away from a life of working and paying a mortgage to have more time as a family.

 

The trip started on November 20 and will go on for a year and probably more. We hope to cover all of New Zealand.

 

My husband was a teacher and took a year off service leave. I homeschool the three children, that’s my daily job.

 

Trudi said the children – Mila, 8, Willow, 6, and Max, 3, – are learning a lot about being transient.

 

 

Footage of Jonie Girouard​ issuing bogus exemptions and coaching people on how to use them sparked a Medical Council investigation into the North Canterbury GP in December.
