About the Author

About the Author

Hi! My name is Stephanie Alfaia and I write poetry inspired by my travels. As a Brazilian American and citizen of the world, my goal is to inspire you as our planet has inspired me.

I'm an avid dreamer, a hopeless romantic and an occasional optimist who wanders the globe in search of lessons, connections and stories to tell. My work dances, twirls and skips between the lines of fiction and non-fiction as our minds and hearts do, embellishing upon our memories. Some characters are completely fictional while others, are locals who have inspired or helped me in my travels. Read through and see if you can decipher the enigmatic world of words! Thank you for stopping by.
