About The Author

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

We’re from the Philippines, my family’s journey has taken us through Dubai and now to our new home in Finland. 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! 🇵🇭❤️🇫🇮
