How Winning Miss International Queen 2020 Changed My Life - Interview with Valentina Fluchaire

(22 June 2022, 15:59 +07) In March 2020, after winning the title of Miss Trans National Mexico 2019, Valentina Fluchaire flew from her home town of Manzanillo in Colima, Mexico to Pattaya, Thailand to take part in Miss International Queen, the largest and most well known annual transgender beauty pageant in the world.

The two-day journey is neither cheap, nor enjoyable, but with an insatiable desire to succeed, open doors and experience everything that life has to offer, Valentina followed her dream and ultimately succeeded in winning the title of Miss International Queen 2020, becoming only the second Mexican to win the event in its 15-year history.

Now, after having held the crown for over 2 years because of COVID19 restrictions causing MIQ 2021 to be cancelled, Valentina is back in Pattaya to pass on the crown to the winner of the Grand Finals that will be held on Saturday, 25 June 2022.

To learn what winning the title of Miss International Queen 2020 has meant to Valentina, Steven Howard of TravelNewsAsia.com sat down with her on 22 June to ask her that very question, and many more.

In this interview, you will learn more about where in Mexico Valentina is from, where she likes to go on holiday in her home country and how long she will be in Thailand for once the Grand Finals have taken place.

You will also learn why Valentina wanted to take place in Miss International Queen in the first place, how winning has changed her life and what tips and advice she has for anyone thinking of taking part in the future.

We also discuss whether Valentina would be interested in starting a Miss International Queen franchise in Mexico, and Steven asks who she thinks will be the last three contestants in the Grand Finals on Saturday. All that and much, much more in the HD video and podcast below.
