What is your favorite location in Monaco?
I really love the Greco-Mediterranean restaurant Gaia, and walking in Monaco’s central park and shopping.
What is one thing you have learned that you wish you could tell your younger self?
I really like to pose for photos and videos, and I like to play with the camera, I’m not ashamed, but on the contrary, I open up in front of the camera. I think this is given to a person from birth because since childhood, all children are like children in the photo, and I always have some kind of pose, somewhere a pen, somewhere a leg. In the family circle, my relatives joked with me, I had the nickname “poseur”, and I was not at all offended because it’s true, since childhood, I liked to stand out. At school and at the institute, I always participated in all theatrical productions, staged dances, and always performed on stage, and there was Miss Friendship everywhere. And, of course, I loved to participate in beauty contests.
