PARIS RAINE takes us on location with our latest luxury tours. This could be you…
Hello, Paris, great photo shoot you’ve done for Destination MAXIM! For those who don’t know, tell us all about Destination MAXIM?
Destination MAXIM is an extension of MAXIM’s Australia and New Zealand editions where we take models on tour to exciting locations around the world. So far we have been to Mozambique, Bali, Thailand and Samoa. Next stop Greece! While we are there we shoot content for MAXIM’s print and digital platforms, and that’s just the beginning.
What is your role at Destination MAXIM?
I’m the tour leader! I make sure the girls wake-up on time, get to hair and make-up and are ready to shoot world-leading content. More importantly, I just want to make sure the girls all have a great time, feel comfortable and leave with life-long friendships – after all, this is what Destination MAXIM is really all about; enjoying life to the fullest!
How does someone get on one of these amazing Destination MAXIM tours?
By chatting with me! You can apply via our website www.destinationmaxim.com.au where you will see our upcoming trips. I personally will reach out to successful applicants. You can also DM our Instagram page: @destinationmaxim
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
That I am only 23. Most people assume I am about 30.
How long have you’ve been modelling and what would you be doing if you weren’t modelling?
I have been modelling for years, since I was a kid. I remember always travelling to Sydney from the Central Coast, early wake-up calls, doing runways and photoshoots. If I wasn’t modelling, I’d still continue to build business and travel the world.
What is your best asset?
I would say my mindset and business acumen.
When do you feel sexy?
When I have been good to my body, eating well and putting my fitness first – it shows. I love showing up as my best self.
How can a man possibly win his way to your heart?
Come to me with a business proposal. Or book us a plane trip and see and travel the world with me.
What’s one thing men should always know about women?
A woman wants to feel appreciated, uplifted, supported and understood. We all want to feel acknowledged at the end of the day. It’s important we take the time to listen and learn to understand each other and simply accept that no two people view the world through the same lens.
Describe your ideal date?
A romantic degustation booked in an either Paris or Dubai.
What can we get you at the bar?
A sweet and fruity cocktail, surprise me. No tequila.
Got a hangover cure?
Yes, have a Body Armour drink before you go out.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given and by whom?
Anything is possible, there is ALWAYS a way! My mum instilled that within me.
What is your motto in life?
It’s so basic. But you are worthy. Also, embrace change, nothing stays the same. Lastly, if you’re not growing, you’re dying.
What’s next for you? Any exciting projects on the horizon you can share with us?
Yes, building businesses, multiplying revenue, all those fun things. Plus, you will see my head pop up on TV soon, or on a billboard or bus. Take a pic if you do! ■
