I’ll try anything once, whether it’s diving with great white sharks, jumping out of planes, running a marathon or tasting native cuisine and delicacies. Getting to share in people’s passions and understand what motivates them is a privilege. I enjoy all spectrums of life, I’m just as comfortable in the haute couture of the fashion world as I am playing in mud!”
