The Greek air, that Cretan sun and awesome Aegean Sea – welcome to another Destination MAXIM as we explore the opulence that is the Sea Side Resort & Spa…
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 Destination MAXIM 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 Destination MAXIM 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. ■
