Asked how she defines success and what motivates her to achieve it, she responded: “As someone who finds her purpose through her weakness, I define success as overcoming the limitation. I used to be just a silent girl, but [as it turns] out, this limitation [made me] an empowered woman who has a purpose. Success is not the destination, it is the journey we take, the growth we experience, and the positive impact we leave [in this] world.”

Barrido bested 39 other aspirants from around the world for the Miss Tourism International title. She also received the “Miss Vitality” award during the final competition show.
