The Spanish girl is now a quite famous model in Vietnam.
An – – means peace in life. Inheriting the beauty of her mother, a Venezuelan woman, and the height of her father, An did not fancy that she would become a model one day.
An’s childhood did not have the presence of her mother. When An was 4, her parent divorced.
“My father took me and my younger brother to Vietnam to begin a new life. In my eyes, Vietnam was a peaceful country. Vietnamese were very friendly and mild,” An recalled.
An was very keen on fashion and stage when she was a little girl. Instead of watching TV shows for kids, she spent hours to watch fashion shows or read women’s magazines.
I asked my father’s permission to learn modeling. After nearly half of a year in practice, I had the first show at the German Embassy in Hanoi. My family was there to support me. Until now, I always has two loyal fans at every show – my dad and my brother,” An said.
Andrea Aybar Carmona is 1.74m tall, 50kg, 84-59-90. She has worked as a model for over one year. She has performed for famous brands like Adidas, Levi’s, Bally, Mango, BCBG… An is also the host of three TV shows on Real TV channel. She is a loyal fan of Barcelona FC.
She said she has many memorable memories as a model but she admitted that she is a young mode and she needs to learn more.
With an impressive face, long legs, An can speak Vietnamese very well. “In my first year in Vietnam, I stayed at home to study Vietnamese by talking with my neighbors. Vietnamese language is very difficult but I practiced very hard. I earned 9.5 mark for my essay describing a flamboyant tree at my school.”
At Chu Van An high school, where An is a 9th grader, she is the only foreigner. “I’m only different with my classmates in physical appearance. I never feel that I’m a western girl. I ought to have been an 11th grader but I spent two years to learn Vietnamese, so now I’m a 9th grade student.”
An has two close Vietnamese male friends. She said she is still small to think of love but it is better to have a Vietnamese boyfriend in the future because she would have closer attachment to Vietnam, her second home country.
She looks premature on the catwalk but in the real life, An is a teen girl who is mischievous and springily. During her free time, she watches movies, loiters in the street, tasting Vietnamese food with her friends.
Good at Vietnamese, An is an efficient assistant to her father. She often helps him to reply customers’ emails in the morning. After leaving school on the afternoon, she works as a model.
An said her family likes the summer in Vietnam. She has been to many Vietnamese cities like Hue, Da Lat, HCM City, Ha Long, etc.
Her father has married a Vietnamese woman. “My Vietnamese mother teaches me to cook many Vietnamese cuisines like bun cha, nem,” An said.
“My love to my second home country is very deep. I see myself as a Vietnamese girl. Whenever I went abroad, I wished to return to Hanoi quickly. I think I cannot live any place in the world, except for this country,” she said.
