Instagram blogger Mareen looks like she has the best job everywhere. Her Miss Everywhere account features a collection of photos showing her living the life.
However, it’s not always easy building an Instagram page with thousands of followers. Mareen, recently described an encounter with a shark swimming around her while she was in the Bahamas.
“My highlight on that day, besides the pigs, was swimming with sharks in Compass Cay, which was very fun until one got a little hungry and decided to bite me,” she wrote. “I cannot tell you the second of shock I felt when I saw this shark opening his mouth and grabbing my hand.”
That’s crazy. And here I thought posing in a bikini all day was the easiest job ever. According to Mareen, the entire experience was just as scary as you would think.
“People always tell you when a shark attacks you you should stay calm,” she said. “Let me tell you, in reality, when it happens, there is nothing like staying calm. You completely freak out.”
Thankfully, she survived the attack and just sustained a scar on her hand.
“My hand is okay again, and has a scar now in shark teeth shape that will forever remind me of that beautiful day in the Exumas,” she says. “It’s an amazing experience to swim with them and quite an adrenaline boost.”
