The Making of Me-
Here we come from can have a huge impact on who we are. It sure did for me. I was born on January 11, 1997, in paradise. Actually, where I was born just feels like paradise: the Gold Coast, and ocean-side city on the southeastedge of Queensland, Australia. I grew up in a surfing culture and that laid-back mentality runs deep in my blood. Even though I've lived in Los Angeles for over three years, I still see my Gold Coast attitude coming through in nearly everything I do.
my hometownis closer to Tokyo and Bangkok than it is to Los Angeles, New York, or London. The area explodede in the 1980's as a hot destination for surfers, and just before I was born it became the second most populated area in Queensland, after Brisbane. It remains a major tourist spot; we've got a great subtropical climate, theme parks, nightlife, and a rainforest nearby- so naturally people love it. It's rarely below 50 degrees, even in winter.
