As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

A beautiful country with beautiful people

and an added dose of beauty (Snickers), left me seriously wondering why the heck I would ever return to Korea.


I can't even begin to explain to you just how relaxed and cool the Filipino people are. Unlike Korea that's all about go-go-go, image and busting their butts off for more, the Filipinos are all about what they have. With regards to materialistic things, they have so little compared to the Koreans but in terms of happiness and loving life, the Koreans simply can not compete with the Filipinos. They simply love life and you can feel it, so they are such much richer than the Koreans because of it.

The Phillipines looks so pretty! I've had people tell me it's a dump, but it looks very nice!

Hey Becca,
Ya, the Philippines was very pretty. It's not a very rich country by any means so ya, there are some dirty places but the people there TOTALLY made up for that!!!
