Model Carolina Sanchez Is the Realest Model on Instagram

This is not a dream.

We spend a lot of time on Instagram (no, really—a lot of time), and when we're not living vicariously through our favorite FOMO-inducing accounts, we're checking out some particularly talented users. So when our GQ castings team finds a 'grammer worth shouting out, we think it's our duty to share him or her with you, dear followers. Up today, model Carolina Sanchez who grew up in Uruguay but calls Venice, California home.

Carolina Sanchez does not seem real—that's how effortlessly cool she is. The Venice, CA-based model spent her former years in Uruguay, before coming to live in the United States. But despite her dreamlike appearance (piercing blue eyes, sun-kissed skin, and a smile not easy to forget) Sanchez is made of flesh and blood—oh, and plenty of vegan treats. Want more proof of her realness? This model goes bowling, and she's pretty good at it. She also reads every single comment, so you better watch what you say. Check out her answers to our questions below and then go straight to the 'gram and give her a follow.

Where are you right now?

I'm laying on my yoga mat at home in Venice, CA! :)

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Montevideo, Uruguay.

If you weren’t a model, what career would you pursue?

Acting.

What is your mantra? (If you don't have one, make one up. We'll wait.)

What we think, we become. When you're not in a rush, things come together.

What makes you feel sexy?

No makeup and messy hair.

Where have you never been but want to go?

Thailand and India, my dream trip is in two weeks; I'm going to Thailand, living out of a backpack, and then heading to a retreat in India.

Do you read the comments?

I read every comment :)

What is the craziest thing you’ve done on a shoot?

I love editorial shoots where you can play different characters, show different emotions. I ended up crying, screaming, and throwing things around. It's so much fun!

How do you spend your time off?

I spend it reading and studying online, watching movies, going for hikes, and always looking for a new healthy vegan restaurant to treat myself.

What is your most prized possession?

My polaroid book. I made it a while ago with photos I took. I have so many family memories in that book from every time I go back home. It's precious for me.
