Deep down, I'm still the same kid I always was, but I'm much more confident in myself, in what I want and where I want to go. I'm more comfortable in my own skin, enjoying my creativity, whether it's in music, fashion or sports.

I started traveling when I was 13. I’m very lucky to have been able to see the world. It’s very different when you start traveling at a young age. Everything is a first time, the first time in Brazil, the first time in Italy. That newness is so special. It’s sad that you won’t have that first time again.
