Alexis Miller

A writer, yoga instructor and aspiring philosopher, Alexis currently lives in Tokyo, Japan with her husband and their dog, Josie.

Altruism, authenticity, compassion, integrity, independence and kindness are the values that guide Alexis’ way of moving through the world. Not to say she gets this perfect every day — far from it.

For Alexis, the definition of “friendship” has evolved over the years from a system of ranking relationships to a relational superfluid — one that constantly moves and adapts to its environment. Her friendships continue to change, bloom or fade in order to meet the stage of life through which she’s moving.

“Man loves company, even if it is only that of a smoldering candle.” - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Friendship has been a key to a successful life for Kristen and she’s been blessed with incredible people who encourage, inspire and influence her in the best of ways. They have helped shape her values by opening the world up and pairing her passion with logic and new perspectives.
