What’s your favourite spot in town?
My favourite place is Durgerdam. It’s a short street on a dyke in the north of Amsterdam with beautiful old houses on one side and a lake on the other side. I used to swim there when I was younger and played piano concerts in a church nearby. Being so small and surrounded by grassland and water only, it’s a lovely, quiet and peaceful place.
When did you know you were going to be a model?
Actually, it was a coincidence that I came in contact with PLATFORM, the agency I’m with right now. I had done some modelling before, but I was planning on quitting. The people from PLATFORM were so nice and professional, that I decided to give it another shot. I’m very happy and honoured to be represented by them and be able to do jobs in this line of work.

What’s a motto you live by?
Do only what you like and follow your gut.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
When I’m cycling, I can’t help but start whistling and humming, which always ends up in singing very loudly for the rest of the ride.

What’s your secret wish?
To leave everything behind and live in a simple house surrounded by the nature of Italy. Eventually, that’s what I want to do anyway. Living a self-sustainable life in a self-built house.
What’s the brand that speaks to you most?
In a way, I feel guilty about it, but I don’t know many brands let alone what they represent. I only wear clothes I got for free or bought secondhand. However, I do love clothes and can definitely appreciate a beautiful piece.

What’s been your favourite city so far?
I loved Glasgow, as it was so diverse in architecture and people. It felt like every corner was a different city. Scotland, in general, is an amazing place with beautiful nature and the friendliest people I’ve met so far.
What’s your favourite song?
‘Gute Nacht Freunde’ by Reinhard Mey, or ‘Golden Brown’ by The Stranglers. Favourite musician, however, would be Tyler, The Creator.
