Kriti Swarup

Kriti Swarup is a writer and multimedia journalist based in Amsterdam. Originally from New Delhi, she moved to the Netherlands in 2022. Writing for DutchReview is her way of making sense of assimilation and helping fellow internationals find a home between cultures. A cum laude graduate in media and culture from the University of Amsterdam, Kriti has reported on topics ranging from art and lifestyle to business and technology. When she isn’t working (or rewatching Game of Thrones), she is usually, and somewhat perpetually, trying to learn Dutch.
