About The Author

Hei! I’m Dii Roqz, the voice behind Pinoy Up North.

We’re from the Philippines, and my family’s journey has taken us through Dubai and eventually to our new home in Finland, where we arrived in April 2023.

Here, I share our everyday experiences – from family life and travel to health, education, migration, and the joys and challenges of adapting to life in the Nordic north.

I hope our stories inspire, inform, and remind you that home isn’t just a place … but memories we create along the way.

Welcome to our journey! 🇵🇭❤️🇫🇮
