Hi, I’m Rhena, the voice behind Perspectives from A-Broad. This blog is where I share my journey of living as an expat in Southeast Asia and the experience of resettling in the United States.
A few years ago, I packed my bags, left behind the familiar, and stepped into a world of new cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Living abroad changed me in ways I never expected—it shifted my priorities, deepened my appreciation for different perspectives, and redefined what a fulfilling life truly means.
Now, as I navigate life back in the U.S., I find myself reflecting on those experiences and how they continue to shape me. Through this blog, I hope to offer honest insights into the challenges and joys of cultural transitions, travel, and personal growth.
Whether you’re an expat, a traveler, or someone seeking a fresh perspective on life, I invite you to join me. Let’s explore what it means to embrace change, find purpose, and live a meaningful life—wherever in the world we may be.
Thanks for being here!

I’m continuing this exercise of getting my random thoughts out of my brain in the hope that writing becomes easier and the creative thoughts flow more freely.
