Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nMy favorite designer is Mads N\u00f8rgaard I actually don’t use any fragrance, but if I had to choose one it might be… Calvin Klein. Beauty product I’ve been using Tromborg<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nThere is a lot of things… I’ve always wanted to join Cirque du Soleil and I also wanted to be a professional soccer player or an architect. There are a lot of things… but modeling is also one of them.<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nJust the feeling of home. I sometimes miss the language when I’m traveling, but overall I love traveling. And I love traveling around Denmark, I’ve been at 2 boarding schools for the last 2 years. And it has made me much more mature. Even though Denmark is a small country it got a lot of personality! I love the freedom in Denmark, to say whatever you want and do whatever you dream of!<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nHmmm, I’m pretty new in this modeling world, but I’ve always liked the Calvin Klein commercials… and I’ve been following @jordenkeith on instagram, and he’s pretty wild. Who would I walk for? It could be amazing to walk for Versace or Balmain? <\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nAnywhere, it would be Greece, the pictures and the history I’ve seen and read are so sick and such beautiful stories and amazing pictures.<\/p>\n
