Sofia grew up in the small town of Clayton, NC before she moved to Dallas, TX to pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant and jet set the world. After seeing the beautiful sights of Greece, Paris, New Zealand and more, Sofia came to find that Theres no place like home, and moved back to North Carolina to grow some roots in the charming town of Wilmington.
