discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was scouted in a shopping mall in the Canary Islands while hanging out with my friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI love sports, especially football (soccer). I\u2019ve played sports since I was young and I\u2019ve played professionally on several teams. Traveling is also one of my favorite things, I love spending holidays in Croatia, where my father is from. And of course, I really enjoy hanging out with my classmates and old friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite music, band:<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite type of music is pop. At the moment my favorite singer is Aloe Blacc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite movie is a French movie named &#8220;The Untouchables.&#8221; My favorite TV show is a Spanish comedy called &#8220;La Que Se Avecina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nMiuccia Prada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would be playing football and pursuing a law career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nWaiting at the airport can be hard sometimes, but I still love it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo doubt, my first job ever, when I opened Prada Menswear Spring-Summer 2015 in Milan. It was truly exciting and a challenging experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs my parents are from two different countries, I have strong feelings about both places. In Asturias, Spain,\u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nCalvin Klein.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019d love to visit Alaska for its wild nature and unique landscapes.
