Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a first generation American from South African descent and the middle child of two sisters who all grew up in Newport Beach, California USA. At age 22 I was signed to my first modelling agency and it took off from there. Once social media started I was classified as an extreme sports influencer as I used to skydive, BASE jump and ride motorcycles as a hobby. I then unfortunately broke my femur and back while speed flying and hitting a mountain. Then, in 2019, The Beauty Hut Face & Body Sculpting was born – now I’m an aesthetic med spa owner .

What’s your best asset?
My best asset would be my eyes, legs and athleticism.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m having a good skin and hair day, which isn’t often.

Describe your FHM Escapes experience.
It was absolutely amazing and for sure a trip of a lifetime. I will never forget the stunning girls I met and the experiences I will cherish forever. The best memory from the tour would be our ATV adventure with the team – it was such a blast and right up my ally of things I love to do on vacations. I would tell anyone who wants to come on a FHM Escapes tour that they will not regret it. I personally can’t wait to go on the next one!

What have you learned about men over the years?
That they are huge fart monsters – instead of waking up to kisses I wake up to explosive farts.

What’s next for you?
To continue to work on my business and ride the rollercoaster of life. ■

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m an entrepreneur and own my own business – I just opened my third location this year – and I’ve been in retail since I was in college. It’s my passion and I can’t imagine having any other career. I’m also an adventurer who loves to travel – I’ve been to nearly 30 countries and almost all 50 states. I’m a master scuba diver, exercise daily and love to ride my motorcycle. I’m up for pretty much anything as long as it doesn’t involve heights.

What was your highlight of this FHM Escapes trip?
Going to Knossos, the earliest Aegean civilisation. It was incredible to see!

What is your best asset?
Physically, I would say my butt! Otherwise, I’m very kind – I’m always willing and ready to help those in need if I’m able to.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m fixed up! Tight dress, tall heels… and good music! And, of course, people to show it off too! It’s hard to feel sexy if you don’t have anyone to interact with. Sexiness is how you are perceived by others – it’s an aura you give off.

What do you look for in a man?
A man who makes me laugh, someone who loves to travel and will hold the door at least sometimes and likes to go fast!

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
We like flowers and gifts. We also like compliments and occasionally help around the house!

Describe your ideal date.
Just going somewhere with someone whom I enjoy being with. That’s all it takes – good company.

What’s next for you?
I will be opening another location for my business very soon!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a Cambodian-American model based in Boston and have been modelling for only a year. I put modelling off for a long time thinking my height would keep me from being successful, but now feeling so happy I pursued it. It’s an art I truly love and being a part of this FHM Escapes tour has been an absolute dream come true.

What was your highlight of this FHM Escapes tour?
I’ve only ever shot with just me, myself and I, but I did my first group shoot on this trip and had so much fun. Be prepared for an amazing adventure!

When do you feel sexy?
Feeling confident allows me to feel like I can do just about anything, including feeling sexy.

What is your best asset?
I get so many compliments on my smile and apparently I make others very happy when I do.

What do you look for in a man?
A man who is intelligent, funny, charming and kind.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
We want to be your partner – not your mother. We also want to be able to take care of our man but want to feel he’s taking good care of us.

Describe your ideal date.
As long as we’re both present, it wouldn’t matter what we do.

What’s next for you?
Continuing to model as much as possible and hopefully working with other FHM territories!

Hi Elizabeth, tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a 24-year-old model and woman in STEM, graduated with my B.S. in Environmental Science and was born and raised in Maine. I am extroverted, confident, a loyal friend, goofy and easy-going.

Describe your FHM Escapes experience.
Once in a lifetime! Every day I try to take small and large steps towards establishing the present and future life I want to live and promote self-improvement, while taking my relationships very seriously. This trip fully encompassed this mission!

What would you tell someone who wants to come on a FHM Escapes tour?
Do it! Life is all about the balance of contribution and enjoyment. It’s important to give back and utilise our skills and gifts, while also finding joy in what we do and who we are. I made incredible friends and learned a lot about myself.

When do you feel sexy?
When all eyes are on me! In the gym, at the beach, during
a thought-provoking discussion… I love feeling engaged and noticed and I think sexiness is largely interactive.

What qualities do you look for in a man?
Someone who is bold and confident, takes initiative, communicates kindly, often plans trips and dates and appreciates my humour and quirks.

What is your life motto?
I live a life of gratitude. I believe that the present moment is all we ever have, so it is important to value each day we are given. I think the energy we give circles back, so I strive to give others the benefit of the doubt and treat everyone with love and respect.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
My second home is the gym – I used to body build and have competed in three competitions placing very well in all three. I love my own company, I’m an animal lover and in my spare time, if I’m not at the gym, I’m hanging out with my friends and family.

Describe your FHM Escapes Greece experience.
INCREDIBLE! Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The FHM crew were amazing and meeting the other girls in the group, from around the world, was a highlight. Oh, and the quad bike photo shoot was an ultimate adrenaline rush – was so unreal.

What would you tell someone who is interested in coming on a FHM Escapes tour?
I was lacking a bit of confidence before I went on this FHM tour and doing a photo shoot for myself really helped me get my confidence back.

What do you look for in a man?
Trust is a big thing for me and being loyal and funny, too.

What have you learned about men over the years?
Their honesty is well-intentioned, they’re competitive and when they want space give them all the space they need.

What’s next for you?
I’m studying to become a personal trainer and potentially opening a gym in the near future!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I grew up in a large family – 10 kids! – whom I am super close to. I’ve always been a super-hard worker, which has led me to owning a business with my brother and being able to work remotely. For the last decade, I’ve travelled all over the world and was able to model along the way, which led me to FHM Escapes.

What was your highlight of this FHM Escapes tour?
The best part of any trip is always the people you meet along the way – this trip was no exception. The girls I met were the best part of my trip. There’s too many amazing memories to share but there was late-night dancing, drinks with stunning views and new, wonderful people along with a perfect shoot.

When do you feel sexy?
Summertime! I live at the beach, and I love it! I feel sexiest in no make-up, cut-off shorts, a bikini and a slight sunburn.

What is your best asset?
I’m basically a D-level comedian at all times. I’ve also been told my green eyes aren’t half bad.

What have you learned about men over the years?
Each man is different and I would never recommend trying to change a man – appreciate them for who they are.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
Sometimes we need between five to seven business years to make a decision – and even then we might change our minds.

Describe your ideal date.
Pick me up at eight, dinner reservations and maybe give me a clue on what I should wear.

What’s next for you?
I’m heading to Italy for culinary school, for no other reason than I love cooking, pasta…and Italy.

Hi Bree, tell us a bit about yourself.
I’ve been modelling for about 12 years and I really enjoy being a part of the creative process behind the camera and bringing each vision to life. I’m so blessed I have been able to use modelling as an opportunity to network and travel around the world. It’s also given me a lot of discipline and experience that I am forever grateful for.

Describe your FHM Escapes experience.
This trip couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I walked down to the beach every morning with my coffee and journal and took time to ground myself. It was very therapeutic and much needed. I met some incredible women and loved the FHM team. The entire trip was amazing from start to finish.

What is your best asset?
My sense of adventure – I’m always eager to visit new places or try new things.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
How much of a tomboy I am. I was home-schooled with three brothers, so I definitely grew up acting and thinking like a boy a lot of the time. Even though I love to dress up and be girly deep down I just want to hang with the guys.

What do you look for in a man?
Shared values are one of the most important things – it can make or break a long-term relationship. Stability, emotional awareness, honesty, sense of humour and ambition are all important qualities, too.

What’s next for you?
I plan to invest in myself more than ever, specifically my mental and physical health. Maybe start a business or start a family. My best years are yet to come!
