“The whole world is a sea of marvels.
Yet, we call them ordinary things.”

Samantha Grob works as a language teacher & writer in Switzerland. She toils as a professional wordsmith, fencing with syllable ravels, ideally weaving them into meaningful texts with bits of logic. She writes coherently in German and English, does translations and proofreading. Her intercultural upbringing continues to inspire her writing because she grew up as an adventurer between East and West, travelling the globe as much as grazing through books. Fun fact, she had a pet camel. Samantha firmly believes that the superpower of imagination is the only valid currency in life and writing is a voyage of discovery.


P.S. Once upon a time, Samantha studied European and Persian art history and philosophy in Belgium and Germany. As an art historian,
she worked in international art galleries and at art fairs.
In addition, she got trained by the Goethe Institut and is completing CELTA certification.

Fun Facts: She adores green tea, the Moomins and diving. ˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗
