Hello! It's me, Alisa. I have NOT been active on couchsurfing in the past year or so. Sorry if I have missed your messages!

I'm hunkered in northern Vermont for the duration of the summer, but I might be down to Florida to see the ocean!

I lived in Nepal for a year, and in Japan for two years before that. I've been to Seoul, South Korea, and hiked mountains in Taiwan.
I'm vegan. It means I don't eat animals or anything from an animal like eggs, milk...
I practice ASHTANGA yoga every morning!
I am an artist and what I love to do is make paintings
I dream of travelling the world!
Please let's be friends :) YOROSHIKU

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I got stranded in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Okinawa because I accepted a ride from a Buddhist Priest but he got drunk and couldn't drive me home. It was amazing.

Also, I climbed Mt. Fuji from Fuji-san Station in one night to see the sunrise!
