Hi, I’m Swati
I moved to the Netherlands with no job and no network. This is what happened next.
Indian girl in the Netherlands since 2017. Three career changes, 76 rejections before one yes, a corporate tech job and 40+ countries. Here I share the honest version of all of it.
What I write about
Four parts of one life. Pick where you want to start.
Corporate Girl
Office days, work trips, job hunting in the Netherlands and switching careers.
Raw & Real
The parts people don’t post: rejections, starting over, finding my worth.
Travel & Family
40+ countries, trips with family and festivals far from home.
Dance & Wellness
Dancing through life, daily habits and feeling good in my body.
