What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
Waiting at the airport can be hard sometimes, but I still love it.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
No doubt, my first job ever, when I opened Prada Menswear Spring-Summer 2015 in Milan. It was truly exciting and a challenging experience.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
As my parents are from two different countries, I have strong feelings about both places. In Asturias, Spain, I love the beautiful country side, natural environment, and the fantastic seafood. In Croatia, I love the coast with hundreds of islands and the crystal clear water is stunning.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Calvin Klein.

Place you would love to visit:
I’d love to visit Alaska for its wild nature and unique landscapes. It’s different from anything I have ever seen.
