Rina Mae

I am an expatriate.

I am American, and I am now living in the Netherlands. I am currently in Utrecht.

About me

Originally made in the Philippines, raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, cultivated in Berkeley, and briefly seasoned in Philadelphia, Rina Mae finds herself determined to materialize the lucid American dream in Europe. Armed only with her supposed intellect and dependable MacBook Pro, she clumsily navigates through a foreign land and the inevitable quarter-life crisis. What is not lost in translation is her love for the DutchBoy, moderate type-A mentality, undying faith, and pagasa.

I can speak English, Tagalog, Spanish, Dutch

My birthday is on 11 May, I was born in 1982

Interests

culture, epicurean delights, photography, travel

My blog 

In Search of Dutchland

In Search of DutchLand is a blog that chronicles and romanticizes my expatriation to the Netherlands. My immigration to The Netherlands is a consequence of a modern day, love at first sight, trans-Atlantic romance with Bram, a Dutch native . This blog is a refuge that attempts to illustrate my waking up to a Dutched reality complete with personal observations of cultural idiosyncrasies, narcissistic ramblings, and lingering homesickness. In Search of DutchLand is also a heartfelt attempt at keeping my loved ones far away informed about my near-daily life.
