With her love for swimming, Amanda has developed a body that could easily fit into a two-piece bikini. She considers swimsuits work clothes nowadays. Amanda is an established model with three years experience and an entrepreneur as the owner and manager of the swimsuit line, Tabu. The voluptuous 22-year-old also hosted a dating show and a top endorser for Herbench.
"My dad is a real beach lover and we used to go to the beach every weekend. I was raised in a beach-y environment," she says. "I was born in England then we moved to Florida, then to Australia. And now I’m here."
"When I’m at the beach, I always find it a good reason to exercise. I just enjoy the fact that it’s unpolluted, far from the city, and far from work!"
She enjoys water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, swimming and scuba diving, all of which she does in Batangas. Boyfriend Paolo Araneta and her Tabu swimwear are regular companions.
"I also love to eat whenever I am at the beach…" A statement that seems unlikely because of her frame. "Mostly seafood, fruits and vegetables. I don’t know why but being in the beach just boosts my appetite!"
She’s definitely the best reason to hit the beach!
