The Boonstra Is Back!

Hello Casey, what have you been up to since we last saw you in MAXIM in April 2017?

Hey, guys, it’s so good to be back! Oh my goodness, where do I start? This last year has been the craziest year of my life. I travelled the world for eight months visiting 13 countries including America, Mexico, Croatia, Indonesia… the list goes on. I finished last year competing in the Swimsuit USA International Model Search which actually landed me a job in the US, and I’m moving to L.A. later this month on a three-year working visa! Crazy times!

What’s the craziest or embarrassing thing that happened on your travels?

There was one week in Croatia that truly tested me. I managed to drop two new phones in the ocean, step on a sea urchin and have spines lodged in my foot for weeks and I slipped over and knocked myself out resulting in five stitches on my chin. To top that off, I then sat on a baby cactus and got prickles in my butt which I couldn’t get out for about six weeks. It’s safe to say that it wasn’t my best week but at least I can laugh at it now.

This is your fourth cover for MAXIM. How does it feel?

Wow! It’s honestly unbelievable. Never in my life would I have thought I’d be lucky enough to have had four MAXIM covers. I feel so incredibly grateful that I’ve had this opportunity — thank you guys so much, you’re the best. I don’t know how you’ve put up with me for so long but I’ll take it!
