Laura Bradley is getting set to take the world by storm.

The 25-year-old dental nurse flew to Sri Lanka at the weekend to prepare for the Miss Tourism International pageant at the Hilton Colombo on February 21.

Miss Bradley, who migrated to Wyndham Vale from Northern Ireland 10 years ago and recently made Yarraville home, is an experienced performer on the pageant scene.

“Everyone is individually beautiful,” she said. “You don’t have to be the most beautiful person to win. Pageant girls are some of the nicest, hardest-working girls … they not only have full-time jobs but they also find time to do charity work.”
