Miss Intercontinental Australia 2018 –

Mikaela-Rose Fowler

When I was young my parents told me that I could achieve anything I put my mind to and that “the world is my oyster.” With their words always in mind, I have been able to push to be successful in all my life endeavours such as completing a highly regarded bachelor degree in Communication Design (with a focus on marketing) studying in both Australia and the USA, landing myself a sales associate role with the number one Real Estate brand, Ray White, and now competing on the international stage as your Miss Intercontinental Australia.

I am blessed to have grown up by the beach, not far from Melbourne City, and so have always spent much of my time outdoors. I enjoy water sports such as water skiing and exploring the coast while hiking. Keeping active is one of my greatest priorities in life as I truly believe a healthy body leads to a healthy mind which when combined ensure your soul is healthy also.

Over the last few years I have also had some incredible opportunities within the modelling industry including walking in fashion shows, one of which was for Melbourne Fashion Week, many photo and video shoots, along with brand ambassadorships and collaborations.

I am excited that through my Miss Intercontinental journey I will be able to inspire others to follow their dreams too!

I worked for many years in the IT area, but my true passion was always the beauty area, and I started to get interested in makeup. At first I makeup my friends just for hobby and because this I got professionalized, did courses, workshops and now I am a makeup artist and makeup teacher!

The world of beauty has also led me to make videos to help women become more beautiful, my videos show the simplicity of makeup, using cheap products that all my public can have access!

I have always liked to watch the beauty contests and at the age of 23 I participated in my first one, since that day I have not stopped participating beauty contests and today I have the honor to represent my country in a contest as great as Miss Intercontinental.

Miss Intercontinental England 2018-Sarah Davies

I pride myself on being a beauty queen with a difference and feel I truly embody the Miss Intercontinental ethos of celebrating women for all their beauty and differences. I am so excited to represent England at the Miss Intercontinental final in the Philippines just 9months after winning a silver medal for England in weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.

I have used my platform as a beauty queen to show women and young girls how to lead a healthy lifestyle and to look after their bodies and I have recently qualified as a nutritionist. My weightlifting career means my figure is different to many women and especially beauty queens due to the muscle mass I have. As a child I was bullied for being muscular when I was a gymnast, but I am now more muscular than I was and I am now completely confident in my body as what it can do is truly special. Not many people can lift twice their own body weight over their head and I am excited to take my body confidence platform to an international stage.

I am the owner of a global company coaching weightlifting online to people all over the world with clients all over the UK as well as Switzerland, Australia, Singapore and many more. I love travelling the world and learning about different cultures and I am lucky to have travelled to 10 countries in 2018. I have not yet visited the Philippines and I am really excited to learn more about the culture whilst visiting for the Miss Intercontinental pageant.

Miss Intercontinental Malta 2018-Kerry Brydon

My name is Kerry Lynn Brydon and I am 19 years old. I was born in Zejtun, south of beautiful island Malta. I am the youngest of 2 sisters and 1 brother who alongside my parents, have always encouraged me in everything I decide to put my mind to. Being the youngest of the family, I consider myself to have been lucky to have watched my sisters grow into powerful independent women with big dreams and they inspire me to be like them. My brother has been like a father-figure throughout my life. He has taught me to take my very first steps and has been by my side ever since.

I am a Junior Accountant at one of Malta’s largest firms, Grant Thornton, and I am part of an intelligent team assigned on Malta’s largest accounting projects to date. I am proud to have such a loving and hard-working team, who also support me in all my dreams. However, my love for art is undeniable. Which is why my plans after I graduate from Accountancy is to pursue my dream of achieving a degree in Architecture.

I grew up in my hometown Zejtun. I consider myself very energetic and spontaneous woman. I am always game for heart racing adventures. I am openly passionate about my love for dance and music. It first began when I used to peak through my brother’s bedroom door to watch him practice his hip hop dance moves. It was only a while after when he noticed and taught me some of his incredible dance moves. Ever since, I have been spending most of my weekends with my friends and family where we get the chance to dance the night away.

Given the title of Miss Intercontinental Malta is a dream come true. But, it is not for the reason that most may think. The beautiful banner and publicity are nice but my mission is much deeper than the surface. I am determined to make most of my titles and allow these opportunities awarded to me to help those who really need a voice.

Also, I would like to raise awareness to dispel the stereotype of pageants being so called “beauty pageants”. I believe pageants push women to become their personal ideal image. It is the inner beauty of a women that stands out most in a pageant. These women have ambitions for their education, jobs and nation. They are powerful and strong in their belief. They take action for those who cannot. And they empower others.

I am proud to be representing my country Malta and I hope to make all of Malta proud at this year’s Miss Intercontinental competition.

Miss Intercontinental Monaco 2018-Veronika Verrier

My name is Veronika Verrier and I am representing the Principality of Monaco at Miss Intercontinental 2019.
I have a Masterʼs Degree in European Languages and Literatures and now I continue my Postgraduate studies in Interpreting and Diplomacy.
I have always wanted to contribute somehow to global peace and security, and working as an interpreter allows me, not only to indulge my love on language, but also contribute to a higher cause.

I trained at a classical ballet school from an early age and then continued my trainings in rhythmic gymnastics. In the case of ballet and rhythmic gymnastics, the saying “beauty hurts” could never be truer. You learn there’s beauty that comes with hard work, and you become the art you create. This translates into
other areas of your life. I still welcome hard work into my life, and I do it with a smile on my face.

It is said that girls with dreams become women with vision. I dream of a world where women and girls have the resources and opportunities they need to
reach their full potential, live free from violence and discrimination Beauty pageants can be a powerful tool to empower women and girls and I belive that Miss Intercontinental is a perfect platform to develop friendly relations among nations ,to achieve international cooperation and to promote peace and justice.

We should never doubt that we are powerful and valuable and deserving of every opportunity in the world.

I want to be a supermodel someday, and a role model to girls who are continuously told NO or given limits due to their height or whatever challenges they may have.

Miss Intercontinental Peru- Giuliana Valenzuela

My name is Giuliana Valenzuela. I’m from Arequipa and i moved to Lima 4 years ago to study management and international business. I love to travel and i’ve been in almost all the continents enjoying different cultures and diversities. My country is wonderfull, we have coast, mountains and jungle (Machu Pichu is a sample of beauty and culture).

 Peru has one of the best gastronomy in the world so i’m completely a foodie girl; i like sports (soccer, basket, etc) perhaps i only practice equitation, but i go to the gym everyday (even if the day before i party or it’s raining or it’s too late), that helps me with discipline. I’m an activist, i always go to marchs and post about what’s happening in my country right now (corruption, femicide, and more); also, i do social work, since i was little my mom always shows me empaty, she’s part of different organitations (league of fight against cancer, president of the ladies of the college of engineers, and more) so i always helped her with nursing homes, orphanages and more activities.

I’m an influencer but i don’t wanna be that type that only post about her hair, her vacation or funny videos of her day  i think that if u have a plataform with that big quantity of followers you have an important voice, many people around the world can read every post you made, you can give an opinion and even support others, create awareness  you can’t imagine how many messages of people saying they weren’t inform of something and wanted to know more i recieved.

For that, representing my country in this contest not only make me proud and make me wanna do an effort for winning, this is an importart way of been listen around the world, of raise your voice and use the power of beauty for good.

Miss Intercontinental Philippines 2018 – Karen Gallman

I’ve always been a firm believer in the law of attraction combined with hard work; and the idea of creating one’s own happiness. Self-awareness was something instilled in me at a very young age by my mother and late father. I was taught nothing is ever too big to achieve; that everything is possible if you set your mind to it and are willing to work hard for it.

After completing my tertiary education at a top-tier University in Australia, I’ve been fortunate enough to reap the rewards and establish a successful career in London. It gave me the chance to travel to many parts of the world. Travelling, and the experience gained from it, widens your horizon and gives you a bigger knowledge of the world – something that not only inspires you but also gives you better empathy towards different kinds of people. Having had the opportunity to live and work in different cities, I became good at coping in different environments, and living in harmony with the people around me.

Those close to me know me as a risk-taker; someone who relishes a good challenge. I would say being part of this prestigious pageant is one of the biggest challenges I have faced so far – and not only am I ready for it, I would enjoy every minute of it and come out an even better human being from the experience. I would live to be a stellar example of a Filipina, and a woman of substance for people to look up to, and be the light of love and positivity to everyone I meet.

Miss Intercontinental Russia 2018 – Tatyana Tuzova

I was born in Moscow into a family of musicians. From 6 years old I studied music and singing. During my school years I always stood out due to a shiny image, with a predominant pink color, high heels, long hair and fluffy short skirts. My family was earning little, so I learned to sew, and was able to sew outfits for myself. Since childhood, I have been collecting Barbie dolls. Parents, friends and acquaintances said that I looked like a Barbie doll, which I liked so much, and I began to develop that image. I dyed my hair, then with the help of lenses changed the color of my eyes, lost weight. I always understood that appearance in life is not the most important thing, so I devoted a lot of time to studying. Today, I have two degrees as music teacher and public relations manager. I turned a hobby into a job. I recorded 2 solo albums, 5 video clips, gaining millions of views on YouTube; constant shooting and touring the cities of Russia, Europe and America. After this, people started to call me “Russian Barbie”, then I won several prestigious awards: the Russian Music Box Music Award, the Women’s Success Awards – the Designer of the Year, the European Best Top Persons Award – Best Pop Singer of the Year 2018. I have a voice that ranges 3 octaves. I have released my own collection of clothes for girls, so that every girl could feel like a real doll or princess. I opened my own photo studio, where everything is pink, in the style of Barbie, and there is also her huge collection of dolls, collected from childhood, worthy of the book of records. I established my own model school, where I teach girls etiquette, conduct a training under the name of  “The Path to Success”, as well as rehearsals of my fashion shows, which  take place in the main fashion weeks of different countries. I am not going to stop there. The goal of my life is to bring good and positive things to the masses and not stop at what I have been achieved. My favorite phrase is “This is just the beginning.” Previously, I wanted to be like a Barbie, and now girls want to be like me.

Miss Intercontinental Slovak Republic 2018 – Laura Longauerova

Hallo world,

My name is Laura Longauerová and I am 23 years old student of University of Economics in Prague, Czech Republic where I study Finances and Accounting. I also work as a Sales Management Assistant in Mercedes Benz and it is wonderful for me to say that I really love my job due to people around me and action what I feel when I am there.

In 2014 I won a title Miss Slovakia and I represented my country at Miss World. In 2018 I represented my country at Miss Model of the World in China what was a big experience for me and it learned me a lot about teamwork, respect, patience and confidence. Dance is my passion, I love working out and spending time with my family, friends and dog who is my little best friend.

I am a woman who believes that everything is possible when you dream about it. Beauty pageants are just competitions for some people, for me it is an opportunity to show to the world that beauty comes from your inside and then you can see it on your face. It is an opporunity to be an example of a woman who is also smart, ellegant, has values and strong personality. I believe in originality of everybody and I believe in better world.

I feel blessed for the chance to represent my country at Miss Intercontinental 2018 and I can not wait to meet inspiring people, culture and atmosphere in Philippines because during my stay in London at Miss World I saw that Filipinos are very kind, full of enthusiasm for beauty pageants, support all countries and enjoy the spirit of a competition. Somewhere inside I feel that we will have an incredible once in life experience and we will create unforgettable friendships.

See you in Philippines.

Miss Intercontinental South Africa 2018-Bianca Rautenbach

My name is Bianca Rautenbach and I am 20 years old. I am currently in my second year, studying towards my BEd Seniorphase and FET degree at the University of Pretoria.
I matriculated at Monument High school on the West Rand in 2016 and received 2 distinctions for LO and English. I was a part of my school’s Matric Council.
I started doing modelling at the age of 9, just to boost my confidence as I was extremely shy. I soon realized that this is my passion. I joined a pageantry school and fell inlove with this sport. My dream is to hopefully one day soon respresent my country overseas.
Even though I love competing in pageants the best aware I ever received was during our Woman’s Month in August 2016, where I received the YOUNG DIGNITARY Award from the Gauteng Government Legislature. This award goes to a scholar who makes a difference in their community.
I am a hardworking person who does not believe in quiting, I believe that winners never quit, and quitters never win.
I have a love for children and would do anything to help them. I believe that they are the future of tomorrow, if we do not take care of our children today, the future will not be very bright. I am a volunteer at Tswhane Baby Haven where I get the opportunity to make a difference in a small child’s life, by giving them love and attention. The smiles that I get in return is the most rewarding thing I have ever seen.
