Miss Intercontinental Netherlands 2018 will soon hold its grand finale to find out who of the twelve announced contestants will be taking over Miss Intercontinental Netherlands 2017 Cathelijne Heppenhuis’ crown. The newly crowned queen will then represent the Netherlands at the Miss Intercontinental 2018 Pageant where Miss Intercontinental 2017 Veronica Salas Vallejo of Mexico will crown her successor.
Netherlands’ last placement at Miss Intercontinental was at last year’s Miss Intercontinental 2017 when Miss Intercontinental Netherlands 2017 Cathelijne Heppenhuis was adjudged Miss Europe and the 2nd runner-up at Miss Intercontinental 2017.
Of all the contestants, we chose 5 that we believe are the ones standing out in the race to the crown currently, and here is the scoop on one of our favourites.
Eline Holtrop is a 19 year old and hails from Emmen from the beautiful Drenthe. She completed her training fashion and styling level 3 grade 2 at the Landstede in Zwolle. She goes to school 5 days a week and also has a part-time job in the hospitality industry at Restaurant De Kamer in Emmen as a waiter.
The first thing she did when she won the title Miss Intercontinental Drenthe 2018 was going straight to my friends and family who were sitting in the room and saying, 'It is unbelievable!' And she believes she must have repeated that to everyone for a couple of days.
To answer the question, what she wants to achieve by winning the Miss Intercontinental Netherlands 2018 competition, she says, “What I want to achieve with this Miss election is that I want to learn a lot from this and that I want to give other girls more self-confidence and that I can be a kind of example function.”

In her free time she loves spending as much time as possible with her friends and family, and she also likes to design clothes.
The thing that makes her unique, according to her, is that I think she does not have standard sizes, because she does not have the measurements to be a model but also not the sizes with nice curves to be a Miss.
A nice fact about her is that she really likes food and that she prefers to eat Hawaii and Buenos pizzas all day long.
