However, the idea of hula-hooping across the US may seem a little bit strange. Well one amazing woman didn’t think so and made it looks so natural. Meet Grant Mallory and his fiancée Maria Jacob. They are avid travelers who have pretty much been anywhere and everywhere in the United States and its territories. The two share distinct passions for travel, and while Grant is a landscape photographer, Maria is an avid hula-hooper and a talented one at that. Well, last summer, the couple took up a road trip across the country and combined all their passions. And as you will see in the images below, this is perhaps one of the best thing they have photographed together.
