Rejected Brazilian Tourist Defends Lingerie In Suitcase
posted (December 18, 2024)
For her part, Andrade has now been trying to get a refund on her bookings. But, part of the reason she was denied entry - if you can believe it - is for the type of clothing she carried in her suitcase, or, as the case may be, what she didn't carry in there.

Our immigration sources told us there was mostly intimate wear, which they felt was not in line with someone coming for an adventure vacation.

It was legitimately one of the reason she was barred entry so we did ask Anrade about it yesterday:

"That's one of the one of the things they said that that your clothing was not the clothing for someone who was going on vacation here in Belize."

Glaucia Andrade, Refused Entry
"I think that the thing that they saying is about my intimate things. And I don't know how this woman thinking and how this culture is, but if you have one boyfriend and you go meeting him, you have some things appropriate for this occasion. I don't think that three things or four things for you stay with your boyfriend. It's wrong."

"Then I'm an independent woman. I don't need one man for pay for nothing for me. And I have one work. And I don't think that it's shame for me travel with these things."
