About me

My name is Bowen van der Zon and I’m a 25-year-old journalism student at the University of Groningen, currently completing my internship at EenVandaag as part of my graduation project. I’m trained to produce news for print, radio, and television, but my true passion lies in video production — capturing stories through powerful visuals and compelling narratives.

My dream job is to travel the world and create stories about unique places, fascinating people, and the societies they live in — bringing untold stories to life and making the unfamiliar feel familiar. I love meeting people from all walks of life and exploring different cultures up close.

Outside of work, I’m a huge fan of gaming, live music, and traveling. Some of my most memorable experiences are my solo hitchhiking trip across Europe in 2022, and my three week trip to Japan in 2024.
