Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Hunter McGrady
Modeling runs in Hunter McGrady's family. Her mother, aunt and grandmother all modeled. And she, too, started modeling when she was 16. At nearly 6-foot tall, McGrady grew disheartened when agents told her she should trim a little fat from her already gaunt, size two body. Now 23, McGrady is one of the most popular "plus size" models, having recently appeared in Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. Based out of Manhattan, McGrady stays in touch with her fans via social media. You may follow her on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/HunterMcGrady) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HunterMcGradyModel).
Q. Where did you shoot your Sports Illustrated swimsuit pictorial?
A. We shot in Anguilla, which was absolutely magical. I felt like I was in a dream land. The weather was dreamy! I hadn't been there before and was able to go back just two weeks after I shot SI to shoot another swim campaign. I wanna vacation there!
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. Venice, Italy. I could ride a gondola and eat gnocchi every day, please! Bring stretchy pants, because you'll be eating decadent food every day that you can't say no to. Go on all the gondola rides and then make your way to Florence, Italy.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. Galinhos, Brazil. I just shot there and basically stayed in a treehouse. It was pretty spectacular. There are no cars on the island. Their mode of transportation is dune buggy, horse and boat! Stunning sand dunes and beaches!
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. My first trip was to Europe. My dad was filming a movie there, so we were able to travel around to Berlin, Rome, Venice and Florence for a month. I didn't appreciate it like I do now.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
