“She gave me a long list, directions of what to do and what not to do. I can’t remember now, but I have it at home,” said Nikolai.

The model went on to say it was “survival stuff.”

“Basic ‘survival skills’ I’d say clap your boots before you put them on, stuff like that, flush the toilet before using it.” I don’t want a snake or a spider,” he added.

Nikolai is Down Under with his girlfriend, Benedicht Thoustrup.

The two will stay in the port city from August to November.

Nikolai, whose father is Prince Joachim of Denmark, is seventh in line to the Danish throne.
