Livia is a Hungarian supermodel. She has landed on the covers of magazines, rocked the runways in the world and has been seen on billboards all over the world. Today we are going discover how she started, what background she grow up with and her future plans on opening her own meditation center.

Livia was born and raised in Hungary, where she was scouted as a fashion model and started traveling the world at age 16. Her debut was in Paris, where she worked with designer Giambattista Valli and walked the haute couture runway shows.
I love Paris. I have so many great memories, I went there when I was 16 (I was such a baby) and I kind of grow up there. I love french culture and the food. ( Just for the records I would add that I’m still not fully grown up. ) I don’t think we should ever grow up. Having children’s sense of play is necessary in life.

She rocked the runways of Paris, London and Milan, later on moved to New York City. After living in the big apple for several years, she traveled to Los Angeles for an acting course and she felt immediately at home. She lives in LA ever since.

The moment I arrived to Los Angeles, I felt home. I don’t know what is it , I had a feeling deep inside of my body, like my soul said this is where you belong.
My dream is to tell stories. I want to be in front of the camera as an actress and later on behind the scenes writing and producing, maybe directing one day. I would like to tell stories to inspire other people. I am very lucky to have traveled and seen the world at a young age.

Livia is one of a kind. This fearless non-stop beauty is making her mark on the modeling world by bringing her own signature style. Genlux magazine said about Livia. She appeared in the magazine the third time in a row and certainly not the last they added.

What do I like to do in my free time? I enjoy riding a bicycle whenever I can. Sometimes I ride from Beverly Hills to the beach and back. It’s so much fun! I love the freedom that it gives you, you can go anywhere with the bike and it always makes me happy. Reminds me of my childhood when I used to bike in my village where I grow up in Hungary. I used to ride to school and whenever I finish I rode my bicycle to my grandma to get some delicious Hungarian food.

I can say that I had a fantastic childhood, I grow up literally in the middle of nowhere, in a small village with 500 people. They often ask me, how was it. Well, I would say peaceful… undisturbed. Countryside people have a different approach to life, they don’t rush.. they enjoy small things in life. I’m forever grateful for this upbringing and to my parents,they taught me to be humble. I learnt that in life you need to work to get things. Nothing is easy, but when you know what you want and work for it, it will be yours. I was always a dreamer, I dreamt of traveling and seeing the world. Here I am today, thanks to my modeling career I travelled to places I never imagined I would go. I met and became friends with wonderful souls all over the world. If I decide to go to Brazil tomorrow, I know that I will have friends there or someone that can show me around the city. This is a very unique gift that modeling gave me and it opened the door to the world. I’m forever grateful for this and to the agent who discovered me in the streets of Budapest. I believe life happens for you, you just need to trust and go with the flow and you will find yourself in amazing places.

Personally I absolutely love this shot. It represent tranquility and peace of mind. I love to be in the water, it just makes me very calm and relaxed. When I was a child i used to swim a lot, I still do. I swim 3-4 times a week, its the best workout.

Not only Livia is a supermodel, she is focused on giving back and helping people to achieve their ultimate happiness. She studied alternative healing methods in Hungary and India, she is a certified karma healing teacher and her focus right now is opening her meditation center.
“In my opinion the best gift that you can give other people, the way you make them feel. I would like to help them be happy, feel good in their bodies and ease their mind, learn to be strong mentally by meditating. That’s my goal. I feel blessed, I have been always very emphatic. Sometimes a kind word, a sentence can change someone’s life. Doesn’t matter if its a friend or a stranger.

They always ask me, how can you always be happy? My answer is, life is too short to waste the time of being unhappy. In every situation I look at the bright side, every obstacle is teaching something. We need to enjoy the ride, rather than worrying about when do we get there….
I am very lucky to have started meditation 9 years ago, it helped me tremendously in my life and in stress situations I am able to remain calm and think clear.
In general I just love to meditate, it makes me happy and recharges me. It’s my #1 self care routine.
Stay tuned, her meditation studio is coming very soon!!!:) Until then.. you can follow her adventures on instagram @livia_pillmann and you can tune in to her live meditation sessions.
