This year, the Miss Grand International invites more than 80 countries. Veronique Michielsen, born in Belgium, is chosen to represent Ecuador. Her mother, Rosa Marcillo, inherited the Quito roots that will take her to Vietnam, host country of the contest that is held in October of this year. The crown was brought to Guayaquil, where with a humble but imposing aura, she poses for the lens of EXPRESSIONS.
She has been living in the country since January and says that she is going to stay to carry out all the activities planned for the contest. “I participated in Belgium, because that is where I live and I was born. They told me that if I had the opportunity to compete in that contest, I would take it, taking into account my dual nationality. But looking at other contests I found him CNB (National Beauty Contest). I liked it and, as I have always been a fan of the Grand, I decided to sign up. After a while they contacted me and told me that I was inside, I was happy.
