In the end... when she drives from the lowlands to the Alps she thinks she is going to Northern Europe because in her mind, the Alps are cooler in temperature and higher up on the map of the sky. She is not the best pigeon while navigating landscapes that she loves, but she is definitely young and vibrant.
Sasha is a bread maker, daydreamer, slow story teller, lover of flowers, quite a good cook (even if she would say 'okay'), a gift enthusiast who cannot keep surprises because she is too excited for the gift she found, friendly salesperson at the farmers' market, host, goofball, wannabe cowboy, smells good, loves a good household solution, breather, walker, photo taker and creator of auntie's solutions (ask around).
Sasha studied art history at the University of Amsterdam after which she taught yoga classes and programs in cultural spaces and yoga schools until 2020. She is interested in creating communal spaces and helping things run smoothly in a practical and intuitive sense. Until the end of 2025 she did this at a bakery that she ran with her father, brother and others. She loved taking care of the garden behind the bakery too. The bakery in Amsterdam continues, but she has made some changes and has hit the road with her trusty travel companion Sienna Pearl to explore people and places she is interested in, play around and find out where she wants to land.
She likes to process experiences, conversations and relations in her vicinity through photographs and writing. She likes to remind people (and herself) to feel their feet (in tricky or exciting situations). She is a special and quite funny flower who loves to be with others and also on her own. She likes to try speaking Italian so that slowly, maybe, she could spend more time in the country and flow with mediterranean vibes.
A dragonfly helped her write a bio and here are some of her favourite words: liminal, threshold, mischief, gentle, reverberation, residue.
1987, NL-UK-USA
