Sports - I love swimming; I like to keep myself fit; I like to do cardio exercises. I love music. Listening to music makes me relax. Reading books puts me in contact with nature, the environment and people and you can learn something from everyone. My career and my modeling work satisfies me as well.
Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?My brothers and sisters, but especially my sister Elizabeth. She has been very supportive in my life and somehow I feel that I have to protect her. She is my younger sister; she is my number 1 fan. I love her so much.
Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
My childhood was a wonderful period in my life. Since I was 2 years old until my adolescence, I lived in Poland. I was a dreamer with a lot of friends, always happy exploring new games and places, trying new adventures. I went to school in Poland.
What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
I think being humble, independent and very positive, always smiling, focused on everything I am doing.
