Tell us a bit about yourself.
Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, I was scouted at a supermarket when I was 15 and this was the beginning of my international modelling career. It has taken me to many destinations around the world and allowed me to meet so many amazing and creative people. When I’m not working, I love to exercise, cook and just kick-back with family and friends.

What would people be surprised to know about you?
I have a passion for anthropology and once lived with a tribe in the Amazon jungle. Some people also say that I’m very adventurous!

What is your best asset?
Physically, I would say my eyes. Otherwise, my sense of humour.

When do you feel sexy?
Feeling sexy starts from within. It’s about loving yourself, being kind to yourself – and others – and having confidence.

Describe your ideal man.
I like a man with a good sense of humour, ambition and who is smart, romantic, adventurous and easy going.

Describe your ideal date.
My perfect date would be a sunset dinner on the beach in the Maldives with a good bottle of red wine.

What have you learnt about men over the years?
That if a man cares enough he will make it known and you won’t ever have to second guess.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was born in the Philippines, raised in Australia and recently moved to Canada. My family are located around the world, so travelling has always been a big part of my life. My passion for travel began with them and grew with time, so much so I graduated with a Bachelor of Tourism Management with distinction at university – I’m career-focused and motivated. Today, I travel the world and model for several businesses and companies whilst experiencing extraordinary destinations, cultures and lifestyles.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I would rather spend time on a golf course, firing range or even boating, over shopping in a mall any day. 

When do you feel sexy?
By a beautiful beach after a morning workout, with no make-up, swimming and relaxing by the sun, embracing my natural self. 

Describe your ideal man.
A gentleman who lives with compassion and dignity and craves my companionship, because I’m an endless source of trust, care and inspiration. I know what I want, and am attracted to a man who does too. 

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
We want to see your vulnerable side when the time is right. You will go the distance if you are authentic, cognisant and thoughtful. Believe me. 

Describe your FHM Escapes Thailand experience.
The Villa was stunning and we were (literally) within the clouds. We organised our own trips around Koh Samui and lived it up.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m an Aquarius from a small beach town called Cairns in Queensland and while growing up there it was easy to be into nature walks and swimming on the reef – living more of a low-key lifestyle. I left when I was about 18 and now live in Sydney where I’m focusing on my modelling career. I’m super close with my sister and girlfriends and absolutely love socialising but I’m also a huge homebody. My interests swing between self-care, long walks on the beach, shopping, working out and fine dining and parties where I can get all dressed up!

What would people be surprised to know about you?
Honestly, people are just surprised that I’m a down-to-earth girl with a huge heart. I think beautiful women have a stereotype of not being nice or stuck up. People are pleasantly surprised when they meet me.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m feeling good internally. Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear and your demeanour can make you or break you.

What is your go-to drink?
A margarita if I’m feeling naughty or a vodka, lime and soda if I’m not!

Describe your ideal man?
I’m a sucker for grand gestures that make me feel ultra feminine and taken care of. Flowers at my door, calling to check up on me, romantic dinners, opening the car door…. It’s harder and harder to find these days but if you maintain your standards – who is right for you will find you.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I grew up with a large family who all played piano and another instrument of our choice – mine was the clarinet. We would also train all year round in sports – soccer, running, snowboarding, surfing… I played soccer in college and then became a writer for a music magazine. After that I received my minor and went into modelling full-time.

What would people be surprised to know about you?
That I have a twin sister.

What is your best asset?
My best asset would have to be my sense of humour, I actually love to make people laugh.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m doing something I’m confident in – a little alcohol in me usually does the trick.

Describe your ideal man?
I look for someone who can make me feel comfortable and can hold their own in social settings. Not necessarily someone who commands a room, but someone who has confidence and charisma.

What have you learned about men over the years?
I’ve learned that men never fail to surprise me, especially on dates – even if it’s a bad date I know it was worth going because I always get really good stories.

What would you tell someone who is considering doing a FHM Escapes trip?
Anyone who wants to go should definitely do it. It’s such a fun experience and it’s a great way to make friends and see new places.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I come from a musical background excelling in dance, acting, singing and taking lead roles in musical theatre productions. I still sing and DJ but dancing is a thing of the past – I seem to have two left feet now. I’m also head of sales for High Social Marketing and have just built a sales team for Reliance Renewables providing Energy solutions for the Commercial Market.

What is your best asset?
Physically, definitely my hourglass shape – I have large hips and a small waist which a lot of girls get surgery for, so… thanks mum and dad! Otherwise, my favourite thing about myself is my work ethic. I actually LOVE working.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m performing as it incorporates a little bit of dance, interacting with the audience and creating the vibe. Being able to have control of a situation like this makes me feel super sexy and powerful!

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’m actually a fully qualified chef – I’ve even run restaurants and costed and created menus and for restaurants in Sydney.

What do you look for in a man?
Honesty, communication and drive. Since I’m quite driven I do tend to go for men with the same values and respects in a sense where we are both work driven but also leave time for each other in the relationship.

What’s next for you?
My next project is releasing my vocal EP and getting more heavily back into DJing and performing live while running my sales teams and projects in various companies.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I started my modelling journey five years ago after I moved to Los Angeles from a very small town in Michigan USA. After fulfilling all of my goals and dreams in my career, I’m transitioning into the holistic wellness world while growing my platforms on social media as an advocate and voice for the LGBTQ community.

Describe your FHM Escapes experience.
It was phenomenal. Not only did I get to travel across the globe to one of my dream destinations, but I also got to do photo shoots and feel confident in my element.

What was your highlight?
Meeting all the beautiful models from around the world – I met forever friends!

Got any fun memories?
Yes! I loved getting to do a duo shoot with my best friend in Los Angeles. We had the hottest matching outfits and our energy just meshed so well together.

What would you tell someone who is considering doing a FHM Escapes trip?
Take the risk! There is something so beautiful in the art of shooting in a dream destination and it’s so empowering having beautiful women around you to hype you up while on set and shooting together!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I started modelling about 10 years ago and surprisingly had rapid success from my first photo shoot. After years trying to figure out what I really wanted out of life, I realised art is truly my passion – modelling, acting, writing, designing – it’s what I was born to do. I’ve been learning how to celebrate my own success which feels like I’m stepping into this whole new beautiful chapter. It’s very exciting.

What would people be surprised to know about you?
I feel like overall I have a very contradictory personality. I love the limelight, yet I’m very reserved. I’m strong, yet I’m nurturing. I’m a free spirit, yet I’m wholesome. I’m artistic, yet introverted. I’m spicy, yet I’m soft. The list goes on.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m truly feeling confident. Sexiness has very little to do with the clothes I’m wearing or the environment I’m in – it has to do with how I’m genuinely feeling about myself. When I’m feeling confident, I feel powerful, like the world is mine.

Describe your ideal man.
I look for a true gentleman. A man who is authentic, protective, kind and confidently goes after the things he wants in life. Above all else, a man who can give me a healthy love.

What’s next for you?
I have my first ever lead role in a sci-fi movie coming out this yearand I’m planning on launching my swimsuit line for men and women called Vanidad. I also have an e-book I’ve been working on coming out soon. I can’t wait to share all of these projects with everyone!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I grew up in a small town in Indiana, with my mum, but always knew I wanted something more than what Indiana could offer me. When I was 18 I moved to California where I continued my schooling. Over time I started getting some small modelling jobs and just kept moving up from there. I eventually started a podcast with two of my friends, something I’m very passionate about and it also helped open so many doors for my future. I currently live in Laguna Beach, California and consider myself a very blessed and lucky girl.

What would people be surprised to know about you?
I’m very much introverted – most days I spend at home reading in my big T-shirt and boxers.

What was the highlight of your FHM Escapes Thailand trip?
My highlight would have to be the group of girls! I now have made friends from all over the world and I’m so grateful for it. I 100 percent think this is a great experience for anyone!

What is your best asset?
My personality. It’s so important to be a kind, genuine, compassionate person and I make sure I am. I’m also a little silly – never take yourself too seriously.

Describe your ideal man.
I really want someone who is loyal, compassionate and goal oriented. Someone I can also be my silly self with and romance is also super crucial. I reciprocate the love I expect to be given.

I was born and raised in Florida USA. Growing up I loved to surf, play volleyball and play the drums in a rock band. I’m a reality TV personality and was a starring cast member of Love Island USA Season 4. I pride myself on knowing my worth and my quick-witted sense of humour. Currently, living in Los Angeles has been crazy, but it’s the perfect city to release my creative outlet. My hobbies include painting, travelling and reading, and my ultimate life goal is to start two charities – one for starving children and the other for animal poaching.

What is your best asset?
My bubby personality and, physically, I’d say my eyes

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m laughing a lot because it means I’m surrounded by good energy and this is so sexy to me.

Describe your ideal date.
Taking a rocket into space and orbiting the solar system until we are ready to come back to Earth.

What would you tell someone who is considering doing a FHM Escapes trip?
Take advantage of being exposed to a new culture, eat the food, go into the city, explore and enjoy the moments while they last.

What’s next for you?
Besides continuing working on my modelling and enjoying life, this year will be my first time walking in Miami Swim Week. Can’t wait!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m was born and bred in Newcastle, NSW, and have always been involved in the beauty and fashion industry. Modelling is something I only decided to pursue a few years ago, which was the best decision I ever made, and now I’ve modelled twice for one of the biggest men’s magazines in the world!

Describe your FHM Escapes Thailand experience.
This was my second time being a part of FHM Escapes and it’s such a surreal experience. You meet the most amazing likeminded women and it’s a great opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and make some forever friendships.

What was the highlight?
Going to the elephant sanctuary was truly an magical experience I’ll never forget!

What would people be surprised to know about you?
That I’m genuinely a very hard worker – I’ve worked for every achievement I’ve made in life and I’m literally always working. I think people’s first assumption is that I’ve had everything handed to me – it’s literally the opposite.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m doing a photo shoot – grease me up and put me in a bikini on the sand and I’ll give you a sexy picture! There’s just something about being in the moment – my alter ego definitely comes out.

What’s next for you?
I’d love to finally launch my swimwear label in 2023, this is my baby, so keep an eye out for Cavallari Swim! I’m also looking forward to seeing where this year expands with my modelling – maybe a cover is next on the horizon?! Stay tuned.
