    Géraldine

    Baking, fitness and long walks with her dog: at 19, the Arlon native turned Miss Luxembourg into a charitable adventure, all the way to the first runner-up sash.

    Géraldine Krebs was 19 in the summer of 2015 when she entered Miss Luxembourg, the province's qualifier for Miss Belgique 2016. She comes from Arlon and holds a secretarial diploma.

    Pastries and long walks

    She spends her free time in the kitchen, baking pastries and trying out new recipes. She also does fitness and takes long walks with her dog.

    My region is quiet and green, with plenty of walking options.

    Géraldine, 2015

    She also loves travelling, photo shoots and runway shows.

    Cookies for Hope for Children

    The Miss Belgique adventure lets her support the charity Hope for Children, for which she sells home-made cookies. She carries one conviction with her through the pageant.

    A Miss shouldn't just be pretty; she should show solidarity and give of herself.

    Géraldine, 2015

    This adventure lets me meet people not only from my province but from every province in the country.

    Contestant no. 17, she points to the Wallonia provincial Miss pageants on Saturday 29 August at the Wex in Marche-en-Famenne, and hopes to go further:

    I’d be very happy to continue the adventure beyond this day and represent my Province of Luxembourg at the national Miss Belgique pageant.
