In Her Own Words...
"Hello World!
My name is Vania Larissa, and it is an incredible honour to be representing my beautiful and exotic country, Indonesia!
I was raised in a family who taught me to be genuine, thankful, and to always carry the heart to give wherever I go. Being Miss Indonesia 2013 has shown me a world beyond all the glamour and beauty, and has handed me the rare opportunity to give back on a more national scale.
I have many passions in life, but I think music is one of the greatest gifts of life, and I live to express myself in this extraordinary form of art.
This year, I am honoured to be the face of the hosting country, and I would like to invite all of you to experience this beautiful country I’m proud to call home."
