“Can’t believe it’s already over a week into Miss International 2025,” she wrote. “I’m deeply grateful for the lessons learned, the friendships formed, the meaningful connections, and above all, the warmth and kindness we’ve received.”
Her message specifically highlighted the legendary Japanese hospitality, Omotenashi, and the care provided by the Miss International organization.
“Thank you, Miss International, for the care, compassion, and thoughtful hospitality you show to each of us. Your kindness has made this journey lighter, safer, and truly unforgettable. I will always cherish these moments. Arigatō.”
This acknowledgment of safety and compassion is particularly poignant, painting a picture of a global sisterhood that transcends borders and sashes.
