Discovered  I like to think I discovered myself, but Corey Mann would probably disagree. Long story and we make sure we fight about it every time we have coffee...

Editor's Note: Next Scout Corey Mann insists he discovered Schafer on Robson Street in Vancouver.

Best Modelling Moment  The best was realizing I can achieve anything I put my energy into. The world truly is your oyster. On a smaller scale, it's a strangely awesome feeling to book the same jobs as the 16 year olds. Take THAT, time.

Awkward Modelling Moment  I always had a hard time understanding my booker in Bangkok because of her Thai accent. She called me one night saying I had a job for Basa Magazine. I repeated excitedly, "Harper's?"
"No, Basa Magazine"
"Basa?" I asked again.
"Yes! BA-SAAA Mag-a-zine".
So I went to the job the next morning thinking I was shooting for some little magazine nobody had ever heard of. Everyone on set looked extremely put together and there was a huge entourage so I asked the makeup artist about the job just to make sure. He picked up a copy of Harper's Bazaar and waved it in my face. I was so excited but felt like such an idiot having to ask. My booker and I started texting after that one.

Favourite Market  So far Bangkok has been the busiest and best experience for me as far as booking work, but It wasn't just my portfolio that was enriched as a result of that trip. It really reminded me of what life is all about and I grew a lot. I can't wait to go back, but I also can't wait for the next country.

Favourite Model  No particular favourite. I think Carmen Solomons has a unique look.
