The Girl From Glenfield Makes Life Up as She Goes Along.
Where in the world is Rachel Hunter? If you’ve been following the Kiwi supermodel’s social media, you’ll have seen her popping up all over the show – sometimes in the foothills of the Himalayas, sometimes trying a famous-in-New-Zealand paua pie in Tokomaru Bay. It’s been this way for the 49-year-old for more than half her life, ever since she started modelling as a teen. And though it wouldn’t work for everyone, it’s a way of living that suits her perfectly.
“There’s no real set plan – my life changes quickly,” she says down the phone to the Weekly, laughing. “It’s fun and it’s exciting, but at the same time you’re always living in the unknown.”
Soon she’ll be back in India, where she learns and teaches yoga and meditation. But over the summer, the Los Angeles resident has been back in New Zealand, which she says still always feels like coming home.
“All the smells, the people, the food, just the nature of New Zealand... You appreciate a lot of stuff when you’re away and then you come back,” she says.
“I would definitely say the freshness of the fruit and vegetables is something I miss when I’m away – and the smell of the seasons, the smell of the trees! It all becomes immediately familiar again, it activates those senses that you’re used to, it gives you that feeling in your tummy of family and friends, the home that you grew up in. It’s so funny how we’re so sensory like that.”
