Escape to tranquillity and adventure on the banks of the River Kwai Noi, with a spectacular backdrop of mountain ranges, as we take you on the latest Destination MAXIM tour to the most luxurious riverside resort in Thailand…

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a fun-loving adventure junkie with a true desire to explore the unknown. When I’m not travelling the world I can most likely be found at the gym or trying the newest restaurants in town with my friends. I try to never say no to any opportunity even though my busy schedule may not always allow it, and I’ll go out of my way to do anything that can help me grow into the best version of myself.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I am a total NERD! Between my love of history and my affinity for all things math and numbers I can’t decide which one makes me more of a dork.

What is your best asset?
My mindset. I can always put a positive spin on even the worst of situations and have a knack for finding the silver lining in everything. Physically, I’d have to say I have a great ass-to- waist ratio and a beautiful face.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m truly able to be myself. I’m fully aware I don’t fit into traditional beauty standards and that’s OK. Who wants to be boring and basic anyways? I prefer to be bold and exciting.

What have you learned about men over the years?
That they can be equally as sensitive as women and need the same care and love that we require.

What was the highlight of your Destination MAXIM trip?
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the zoo! As an animal lover it was nice to get up close and personal with leopards, tigers, zebras and more!
