Have you imagined being homeless and 7-month pregnant at the same time in a foreign country? P$#%$!@3 HINDI KO KINAYA TO!

Her story is the true definition of resilience. An inspiration to ALL OVERSEAS FILIPINOS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Ang aking guest ay walang iba kundi si Yvette Licup Dela Cruz, isang ina at entrepreneur based in Paris, France.

--

She arrived in France pregnant with Gabriel. Prior to that, she worked for the upscale hospitality, medical and aesthetic industry in Singapore after graduating in Graphic Design and Communication from the prestigious Singapore La Salle University of the Arts.

When Gabriel was born, she did not speak French and struggled to find a job as a foreign single mother. I finally got a job in a luxury hotel as a cleaning lady, then promoted to receptionist after 6 months.

She finally decided to quit the job to start her own online beauty business. She had my first job as a semi-permanent makeup artist specializing in eyebrows. As a graphic artist, it was simple and innate for her.

Following this, she opened my own institute specializing in the beauty of the eyes and she extended her services to high-tech aesthetic treatments.

The confinement helped her realize her real goal and her philosophy: To make my know-how an element that reinforces the confidence of women to help them become more independent. This is real beauty in her opinion.

Robert Gaya is also known as Bobby has been living in Australia for almost 10 years. He learned financial inadequacy the hard way but it also gave him so much upside in the process.

Have you imagined buying numerous properties abroad, especially in Australia?

Don’t worry, he shared a lot of tips and techniques on how to do it, which I also believe applicable in other countries.

Please do enjoy the very inspiring journey of Robert Gaya.
