It can be difficult to keep track of all the beautiful women in the world, but there’s one lady in particular whom we think you should get to know a bit better. Her name is Martha Hunt. She’s 27 years old. She’s from North Carolina. Looking like a cross between Amanda Seyfried and Heidi Klum, Hunt is a model who has represented brands such as Giorgio Armani, Prada, Free People, and Victoria’s Secret.

Here are some other things you should know about Hunt (as well as a few more pictures of her, courtesy of her Instagram).

Asked for her favorite place to visit by Free People, Hunt said, “My favorite city to explore is Paris. I love the culture of Morocco and the waterfalls in St. Lucia. I just can’t choose one. I would like to go back to New Zealand to see more of what it has to offer. I’ve also heard the beaches of Bora Bora are stunning.”

Hunt has a dog named Bear. She is a Pekingese/Beagle mix. Also known as a “Peagle.”

Hunt has scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. But she doesn’t let it slow her down. Quite the opposite, in fact. “Living with scoliosis serves as a constant reminder to keep my core and back strong,” she told Free People. “If I get lazy, I feel it in my back first.”

Partly due to her scoliosis, fitness is very important to Hunt. “It gives me a routine when I travel,” she said. “It gives me one hour of ‘me’ time and passes the time when I’m lonely.”

Her essential travel items? A journal, moisturizer, ankle weights, a good book, a bikini, and good music.

Where does Hunt see herself in five years? In 15? “In five years, hopefully more established in my career,” she said. “In 15, I imagine I’ll still be working hard, but with more time to relax and enjoy a home I’ve built for myself.”
