Saying hello to Rihanna in a restaurant before realizing that Rihanna does not, in fact, know me.

Biggest pet peeve about AFM?

Hard to find a good cup of coffee.

Place to avoid during the market?

The Loews.

Bondi Harvest. The black rice porridge is amazing and the coffee is excellent.

My lips are sealed.

One thing you won’t travel without, besides your phone?

My phone charger. And a spare battery. Also, Crep Protect sneaker cleaner.
