Angel Nomads: Candice & Behati
Globetrotting besties Candice Swanepoel & Behati Prinsloo reflect on their favorite trips & shared African heritage during our Costa Rica photo shoot.
CANDICE: What’s your most memorable travel moment?
BEHATI: When I was 12 or 13, I went to Egypt with my family. Egypt blew my mind. Seeing the Sphinx and the pyramids and traveling the Nile, it was so spiritual it was insane.
CANDICE: That’s amazing! When I look at the globe, I love to know that I’ve been on “that” spot. You know what I mean? It’s a weird, childish thing of mine, when you look at a spot and think, “Check, check, check.”
BEHATI: I know! Like you’re putting a pin in it. So what’s the most memorable place you’ve traveled?
CANDICE: Rhodesia [modern Zimbabwe]. My family and I used to stay on houseboats on Lake Kariba & watch lions. We’re in such a different world now!
BEHATI: It feels like a different life! When I think about growing up in Africa and what I’m doing now, it feels like I’m making it up.
CANDICE: That’s a big reason why you and I became such good friends, because only someone who’s lived that can understand.
BEHATI: We have a connection. Like a soul connection. What about Costa Rica? Have you been here before?
CANDICE: Yes. Costa Rica’s really special to me. The whole energy here, the weather, even when it’s pouring rain…
BEHATI: It’s very raw. That raw, kind of savage beauty. It’s nice to lose yourself in a place and I think that Costa Rica has that energy. I was so excited when I heard about this shoot.
CANDICE: I had a lot of #friendshipgoals pictures in my mind.
BEHATI: Like two girls, running through the water?
CANDICE: Running and showing the happiness of being in a beautiful place. And you’re probably the only person in the world who could have been there.
BEHATI: Aww…you’re so sweet.
