* What makes you a perfect Islander?
	+ Just going to the villa because I'm totally crazy and funny and besides, I want to find the big love.
* Are you ready for the big love? If you could choose: 100k more insta-follower or the big love?

* How do you rate your style on a scale of 1 to 10? What is your best feature?
	+ I'm a ten (laughs). No, more like a Nine, you're never perfect. My best feature is my hair, my smile, my eyes, my butt.
* Are you bringing the boys over their heads?
	+ Especially on my hair I am often addressed, they are something special. But my smile also makes guys crazy.

* What is your best / worst feature?
	+ My best feature is my loyalty. My worst feature is that sometimes I'm too direct. When I'm mad at someone, I often tell that person without thinking. Unfortunately, I often turn to this because many people can not handle it.

* Which song describes your love life?
	+ Diamonds "by Rihanna.

* Did you follow the last seasons of "Love Island"? Which of the former Islanders would be your favorite?
	+ Tobi and Marcellino both look good and would like it.

* How would you rate your reputation for dating and relationships? How would you like Describe guys / men from your life?
	+ It may be that some think that I engage with too many men because I often meet with different boys, but nothing works. Of course, that could still hurt my reputation, of course. A friend once made such a comment.

* Why are you single?
	+ So far, the right guy was just not there.

	+ If it's a good friend of mine, I would never cheat on her and keep her hands off her friends.

* What was the worst date you ever had?
	+ I was eating with a man who wanted to invite me and in the end he allegedly had no money with me. I had to pay then.

* How far are you going on the first date? What is an absolute no-go for you?
	+ It depends. I speak with those but openly that, for example, one-night stands are not for me. I'm more of the "friendship plus" type.
* How far will you go at Love Island?
	+ So many people from my private environment are watching that I do not think I'll have sex in the villa.

* How long was your longest relationship before this show?
	+ Two years.

* Which type of man will you become weak at once?
	+ If a man is tall, tanned, and perhaps has dark hair, I find that attractive, but it may also be that I like someone who is blond. I like mature men who know where to go. Then I am already weak. He has to be able to give me a hold.

* Which celebrity do you love?
	+ Channing Tatum is hot.
