Has your personal style changed since you started modeling?

What’s that one thing you had to wear for a job and wished you could have brought home with you?

As there are lots of misconceptions about modeling, I’d like to ask you what the best (and worst) part of your job really is.
Traveling around from city to city and meeting interesting people is amazing. That being said, the communication with my foreign agencies can be a bit difficult at times.
Do you have any ‘secret talents’?
I don’t know what could be defined as a ‘secret talent’, but I play music and I’m planning on forming a band again. By the way, I play the drums and bass guitar.
What’s your favourite song?
‘The Chain’ by Fleetwood Mac.
