Lyna Meyrer ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ

Fueled by a love for writing, social media, and all things Dutch, Lyna joined the DR family in 2022. Since making the Netherlands her home in 2018, she has collected a BA in English Literature & Society (Hons.) and an RMA in Arts, Literature and Media (Hons.). Even though she grew up just a few hours away from the Netherlands, Lyna remains captivated by the guttural language, quirky culture, and questionable foods that make the Netherlands so wonderfully Dutch.
