Katarina Rodriguez, famously known as Miss World Philippines 2018, and the 2nd runner-up of Asia's Next Top Model 2014, has turned into a real life Moana.
In an interview with the former beauty queen during the Preview 25 House Party, she revealed that waking up every day next to the sea has always been the life she’s dreamed of. The slow-paced and serene environment close to nature tends to keep her busy. With endless days under the sun, Katarina spends most of her time exploring, surfing the ocean, reading books of any kind, doing yoga, or running and spending time with her many dogs.
