I love modelling with all its pros and cons. The most difficult thing for me though is to maintain my figure. It’s funny but my hips live a separate life from my modelling career. No, I do not diet, but I try to adhere to proper nutrition and exercise and I at least do exercises on my buttocks at home. My hips are 96 centimeters, which is unacceptable for modelling. Hence, I always get myself in shape for the contract and I reduce the volume of my hips to 89-90 centimeters.
I was very fortunate with my mother agency. We are like a family. I can trust them with anything and I receive good support. For me it is very important that the agency stays in touch throughout whilst I am on a trip. I, then in turn, endeavour to behave with dignity and honesty.
For the first time in an unfamiliar country you can get lost which is what happened to me. Unfortunately, I mixed up all the instructions that were sent to me before the flight and it was a stressful time travelling from the airport to the apartment. However, now I recall this event with amusement.
There can be difficulties with the language too. Nevertheless, they can be solved with everyday practice. I felt comfortable communicating with the local community and enjoyed their culture. I was raised to respect all nations and their customs.
Most of all I remember shooting for Happy Magazine. They were an amazingly fun team. They were a team who created a positive vibe with their behaviour and wonderful conversation. This ambience is a very important part of the work. In modelling I believe that we should create the right polite and friendly atmosphere on set and I firmly believe that this should start with ourselves.
