18-year-old Valentina Alekseeva, holder of the "Miss Russia - 2024" title, experienced a real shock during her vacation in the Seychelles. The beauty shared a shocking story about how she nearly lost her life due to the unpredictable power of the ocean.

After successfully completing her semester at medical university, Valentina went on a well-deserved vacation to this paradise corner of the planet. However, the serene journey almost turned into a tragedy. While at the beach, the young woman went into the ocean only knee-deep, not even planning to swim. Suddenly, a powerful wave knocked her off her feet and threw her under a stone boulder.

"Any minute could be your last. And this realization almost cost me my life. I went into the water knee-deep, wasn't even swimming. And suddenly - the strongest ocean wave, the tide, the wave threw me under a rock, after that everything was like in a fog. I'm a good swimmer, but I escaped by a miracle," the model shared about the nightmare experience on her social media.

Shocked by what happened, Valentina addressed her followers with an emotional appeal to take care of themselves and value every moment of life. The young woman admitted that she had always considered herself an extreme sports enthusiast and had never been afraid of sea waves. However, this experience made her reconsider her attitude toward risk: "It's time to slow down a bit," "Miss Russia" realized after the ordeal.
