Miss BRAZIL
LARISSA RAMOS

Age: 20
Profession: Biology Student

Brazil is well-known for its culture that includes carnival party, sports like soccer and amazing nature. It is an attractive and unique country. We are very happy people and I’m proud to embody this characteristic and show it to the world. I’m also proud to say that we have the longest river in the whole world. It is in the heart of Amazon forest. It is composed of natural biodiversities which is admired by people.

I spent a week in a forest surrounded by wild animals. Because of it, I was able to learn self-control and overcome my fear.
