Looking for the perfect paradise to escape the chills, relax and soak up the sun while adding some adventure into the mix? Look no further than Lux* South Ari Atoll in the Maldives, our host location and backdrop for this month’s FHM Escapes tour…
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was raised in Melbourne by my mum, alongside my two younger sisters. Being in a household full of women instilled a strong independent streak in me. Despite coming from a single parent household, I always found a way to chase my dreams and passions and make them come true, from appearing on magazine covers to featuring in music videos. After graduating from university last year, I decided to further pursue modelling and focus on things that truly make me happy such as travelling, learning and experiencing different cultures and making lifelong memories.
Describe yourself in five words.
Fun, intelligent, adventurous, creative and honest.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
That I enjoy writing. I have actually written a children’s book that I would really love to get published.
What do you love most about yourself?
My kind heart. I do have a tough exterior but deep down I’m very caring and giving.
When do you feel the most beautiful?
Feeling beautiful has more to do with how I feel on the inside. So, straight after a workout, during a shoot or dancing around the house, is when I feel most beautiful.
Describe your FHM Escapes experience.
Breathtaking. It was like walking into a dream. From the crystal blue water to the stunning resort and shooting with FHM.
Have you got any fun memories you would like to share?
Paddle boarding with the other models while a baby shark swam by! I’m such an animal lover so this was truly a beautiful experience.
What is your life motto?
Sometimes what didn’t work out for you actually worked out for you.
