Model Ana Maria Cucu (Romania)

Can you tell us a little about you? My name is Ana and I am 24 years old. I live in Bu charest, the capital of Romania, a beautiful countr y. I trav el to many countries with photo projects, working for 5 years as model. I like to explore th e unknown, to learn new things. I am brave and I want to face destiny. I came from a poor fami ly, but I managed to raise my standard of living considerably. I am proud that I managed to d o ever y thing myself, and this is an example that anyone can do something if they want to. At on ly 23 years old, I managed to buy my car, and in the summer my apartment will be ready.

If you could change any thing about yourself, what w ould it be? Hmm ... it's hard to say. I love myself the way I am and I think I wouldn't cha nge any thing.

How did you start modelling? It's a long stor y, but I'm tr ying to tell a short stor y. 5 years ago I had some ver y serious health problems and I said I had nothing to lose. I wanted to be a model when I was little, but my mother wouldn't let me. I accidentally found an ad on Face-book looking for a model for under wear. I said tr y. I really liked the experience and kept looking for ads for this job.

What do you think of the work as a model? It is the most beautiful profession. You travel a lot, you meet wonderful people, it is an easy job i f you like it and you learn to do it as well as possible. The only thing that many do not know is t hat in photo sessions the model is in certain positions that cause back and muscle pain.

What is your beauty regimen? I'm not doing any thing special. I don't diet and I don't do sports. It's my genetics that help me. I think I'm lucky. I eat any thing. from sweets to fast food.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others? I am a sociable person, confident in myself and I tr y to be the best in eve r y thing I do.

What are your plans for the future? To travel as much as possible, to learn as much as possi-ble. I want to continue modeling , but also to get i nvolved in education and maybe do a Ph D in Histor y.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far? Travel experiences. I met a lot of people in the field of modeling , but also in other fields. People from different cultures, with different values ... I find it amazing

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling? Yes all girls who want to be models must trust them, be patient and never give u p. To look for ads, to register in agencies or to be freelancers, but always to look for ads.

What do you think of the magazine? It's a good idea to promote these talents. Adverti sing is always good. Without it we cannot evolve.
