About

Saskia Inti van Alphen, born on February 8th 1971 in Lima - Peru. Dutch and deeply loving her roots but not living a life in the Netherlands. She has lived on 4 continents: South America, Africa, Europe and currently the US.

A caring mom of three children, a loving wife and a loyal friend. A children's storyteller, a poet and a blogger for a well-known Dutch news website LINDAnieuws.nl. She is a photographer too. And maybe a painter one day.

By heart a writer and poet. The love for writing was born the day she started to read. Poetry came into her life at the age of 16. May 2017 her first short story and a poem were both published in a book together with 26 other Dutch female authors, 'De Wereldwijven'. Currently she is working on an illustrated children's book series.

She loves to travel, to explore and to share. To discover foreign countries, different cultures and new ideas. She has developed an eye for details realizing they can be the cause of big events. Details can amaze. Nearby at your doorstep or far away from home. Where words could not describe, she discovered the power of an emotion in a simple image. And that is where her passion for photography comes along.

A self taught photographer and just a beginner. However, that doesn't hold her back in her joy to share her daily findings, forever frozen in an image not to be lost. It is very addicting and as in writing, photography is a never ending journey. You find, you observe, you capture and you treasure.
