About Samantha
Meet Sam.
A life built with precision.
A story born
from choosing something more.
Samantha Nazareth is a physician and writer. She studied medicine through Brown University’s eight-year combined undergraduate and medical program, trained at Cornell and Columbia, and went on to build a medical practice in NYC. Her research has been quoted in The New York Times.
In 2023, she left New York and started moving. She has now traveled to more than 85 countries, became a scuba diving instructor and shibari rigger, and found herself in places, relationships, and communities she never imagined entering.
A lot of that became material.
Her writing explores desire, intimacy, identity, relationships, travel, and what happens when the life you worked hard to build is no longer the life you want. I Left Anyway is her debut memoir.
The identities we outgrow can become the stories that set us free.
