Hi,

My name is Samantha Zuidam. My interests in people and culture have led me on wanderings across the globe. My aim is to connect, understand and write in order to create a package of human connection.

I’ve travelled in New Zealand and Asia, did research in Central America and lived in rural Australia. Amongst these experiences emerged two university degrees. A Bachelor’s in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology and a Master’s in Culture, Organization and Management.

My experience in different cultures and societies is an ongoing inspiration for my research and writing. My work is best described as a combination of anthropology, philosophy and psychology.

I currently live in Veenendaal, the Netherlands, with my partner and our two children. Next to my research and writing, I work at UWV as an advisor for people eligible to long-term disability benefits.
