"Exactly 5 years ago today, I moved to North Carolina."
"Until recently, “home” had many meanings to me. It was my childhood house in Monaco… home was Brasilia where I went to high school… then it was Miami that felt like home for the better part of a decade… and now this. My favourite home yet. A home I built with my husband from scratch. Where every detail was thought through, hand picked, and brought to life. I am so grateful for this chapter I get to call home 🤍," she added.
