The sun is out and iconic Kiwis are returning to our shores.

Model and actress Rachel Hunter is back In New Zealand for the summer, teaming up with Uber Eats to bring Kiwis to the beach.

She revealed to Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame that she’s actually over for around three months every year, splitting the rest of her time between LA, London, and the various retreats she does in places like India and Bali.

“I’m very lucky,” Hunter said.

Since she spends so much time away from our shores, she’s seen the country change with every visit, but much still stays the same.

“There’s like, y’know, the things that you eat, the dairies, y’know, the beaches, the places especially during the summertime, when everyone goes off on their breaks ... you can't help but be pulled to memories of your childhood.”

“Skylines change, I mean, so is the rest of the world,” she told Tame.

“But I think fundamentally, when we come back to our homeland, you can’t help but provoke those really amazing times growing up.”

Hunter is involved in quite a few projects, but a brand new one is releasing pretty soon.

‘Human Spirit’ is her new podcast, releasing on the 20th, to which she says they have some “great New Zealand guests” involved.
