I am Filipino. My husband is Czech. My son is American. I was born and raised in Bukidnon, a small province in the southern part of the Philippines. I went to Manila for college and eventually spent the next ten years there.After searching for “greener pastures,” I ended up spending some time in the US. During my time there, I met my husband, got married and eventually had a son. Now we are in the Czech Republic, my husband’s home country. Since I have never been to Europe before, I am blogging about our experiences here. This will basically be a journal of my adventures as I try to fit into my new home. We will be living here for an indefinite period of time, but who knows where my wandering soul will take me next.
