PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA: Xandi Olivier, a Pretoria, South Africa native with six years of experience in yachting, is all set to make her big debut in 'Below Deck' Season 11.

Xandi, born on November 7, 1990, is an adventurous person who loves to travel and calls herself a "wanderlust" on her social media bio. She also goes by the motto, "The Wolf you feed is the Wolf that wins."

She does not seem to have a huge social media presence and has about 2,000 followers on Instagram. Xandi often posts photos of friends and relatives, hinting that she likes to keep them close.
