Mister International Colombia 2014
Q: Tell me about your current preparations for Mister International 2014.
A: I'm just going on with my normal life, I think everything that I do day after day helps me to preparate for the pageant. Training as a professional swimmer, going to the university, working as a model. My manager told me once, "Your whole life is in a preparation for this kind of events!."
Q: How would you describe your personality?
A: I think I live a Bohemian lifestyle, I don't like a luxury life, neither an alternative life. I just try to share the simple things that I enjoy.
Q: What was the best moment in your life?
A: It's a difficult question because my life is full of good moments that maybe I can't choose one. But I can say the first time that I was out of Colombia, in Brasil, that was a good moment. Because I could discover new things and understand the world.
Q: What are your best qualities?
A: I like to share, and I think it's a good quality because I like to share many things like experiences, cultures, traditions, and by this way we can learn a lot about how to make a good friendship in the world.
Q: Who is your role model and why?
A: As I said earlier, I try to live a Bohemian lifestyle. Being different but enjoying every single thing. I don't have a role model but I admire Chespirito, a Latin comedian.
Q: Do you think racism still exists today?
A: I think in this world, there's still these people who discriminate a lot. All kinds of discriminations, and it's sad that the people can't be sensitive enough to not judge someone by their looks but look inside of the others.
Q: Name three things you can't live without.
A: Swimming, family, friends.
Q: Message to your supporters and fans.
A: Please follow me and support me, I'm a common guy who is trying to make his dreams come true! And please visit Colombia, it is the country of magical realism, where great and unbeliveable things mix with reality!
