Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was born in Sydney but my parents are Polish, so I grew up over there for half of my life. I went to school in Warsaw, studied early childcare then realised it’s not the field I want to be in. This year I want to do a lot of travelling and concentrate on myself.

Describe your FHM Escapes Maldives experience…
I met some beautiful people I know I will stay in contact with and created some beautiful memories. It was a gorgeous location that was perfect for relaxing and tanning.

What was your highlight of this trip?
Swimming with the sharks at night while drinking red wine with my best friend in the ocean. All I can say is that it’s all about the company.

What would you tell anyone who wants to come on a FHM Escapes tour?
Just go for it! Why not? It’s an experience and it’s great to get out of your comfort zone and create memories.

Describe yourself in five words.
Loyal. Sweet. Introvert. Honest. Caring.

What do you look for in a partner?
Someone genuine and honest. I also love men who take control.

What is your life motto?
Live each day as if it’s your last.

Describe your FHM Escapes Maldives experience.
TOTTALY NEXT LEVEL! I cried with tears of joy on arrival, my bucket list dream finally came true. LUX* resort was top tier from service, endless smiles and the many activities to do. There was biking, snorkelling, sunset DJ, outdoor movie nights, tennis courts, the cutest beach library I have ever seen…

What was your highlight of this trip?
The stunning water bungalow we stayed in and snorkelling
with the manta rays and whale sharks blew my mind! Dolphins even swam by! It’s simply an amazing reef to see snorkelling.

Have you got any fun memories you would like to share?
Group activity of paddle boarding with the other models, a Master Chef cooking class… every moment was a dream – magical. It was difficult to not leave the island. Can someone pinch me?! Did I really go there? Thank you, FHM!

What do you love most about yourself?
My positive outlook, even if it is a sticky situation. I always see the best in any situation.

When do you feel the most beautiful?
Anywhere by an ocean or looking at a sunset. I instantly feel relaxed and humble. I naturally glow and feel radiant near the water or on a boat.

What is your motto in life?
If it makes you happy and does not hurt anyone in the process, take a chance – what have we got to lose?!

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.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a little, wild, fiery girl at heart. My heart yearns for adventure and newness, it’s almost like I can’t sit still but have the laser-focus of a hawk. I was born an artist and I’m drawn to captivating stories and the rawness of the human condition, in whatever medium expressed. I am captivated by different forms of beauty and why things are the way they are. I’m also a romantic.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
My work ethic.

Describe yourself in five words.
Giver, accommodating, cheeky, smart, outgoing.

What do you love most about yourself?
I love my authenticity; I respect my values despite the extreme temptation to “follow the trend”. I’m one to see the good in people. When I see others in a positive light, it indirectly reflects my self-sufficiency and hence my ability to take care of myself. It’s important to look after your body and wellbeing, which is why I treat and feed my body what it so lovingly deserves.

Describe your FHM Escapes Maldives experience.
My FHM Escapes experience was filled with fun and lifelong friendships. We, all different people from culturally unique places from around the world, come to clash together to form networks and friendships and the people you meet are invaluable. Maldives, from the majestic natural wonders of the Earth to the smile-beaming workers, invited amazing memories and an unforgettable time.

What is your life motto?
The L in my name stands for the Love of your Life.

What was your highlight of this trip?
