Finding Dutchland is the professional expat blog of Rina Mae, a San Francisco Bay Area transplant currently living in the Netherlands.  Her expatriation to the Netherlands was a consequence of a love-at-first-sight romance with a Dutch Boy that modern-day fairytales are made of.

Drawing from her own personal experiences as a seasoned expat (almost 3 years in the making circa May 2007), Finding Dutchland is an honest attempt to assist, mentor and encourage other expats waking up to a Dutched reality. Arguably the most frustrating obstacle for many expats is the serious information gap and services available in the Netherlands without a genuine sense of guidance both off-line and on-line.  Finding Dutchland attempts to bridge that gap, filtering out the infamous Dutch white noise of bureaucracy and provide a helpful refuge for expats hoping to materialize their dreams in the land of tulips, cheese and windmills.
