Hello, I'm also new to this site. I'm an american born filipino now living in Amsterdam and loving it. I've been here nearly a year and have made several dutch friends and many expat friends from various places. I'm learning to speak dutch to be able to communicate better with dutch people. I also speak some spanish, french, german, italian and a few other languages. I'm always up for meeting and making new friends and learning new things. I've got tons of questions. I brought my dog with me from the states and have already traveled around parts of europe with my dog in tow. I'm glad to be here and hope to meet some of you and possibly make new friends.
