Happy Birthday Alisa

"Happy Birthday Alisa!"

Alisa Gragert, the world travel endulger, the up-for-anythinger, the giggly wombat once named Jimmy, didn't get to enjoy a pisco sour or a night of Richter-scale-inducing dancing on her birthday, as she desired. Why? Because she's traveling, and sometimes that means time on buses or time in taxis.

And still, Alisa has managed to rack up quite the cornucopia of memories, sharing them all the while. From Ramallah to Huacachina, from storylistening with the locals to helping tourists find their way, Alisa has been expanding her impact on the world, one person and one village at a time.

Because of Alisa's everlasting adventure craving and her drive to pass the joy around, the quality of life for myself and others as well has improved, and for this reason I say "Happy Birthday Alisa, and Thank You!"
