Sam has over six years experience writing about life in the Netherlands and leads the content team at DutchReview.

She loves to write about settling into life in the Netherlands, her city of Utrecht, learning Dutch, and jobs in the Netherlands — and she still can’t jump on the back of a moving bike (she's learning!).
