Alexis Julian
My name is Alexis. I'm 21 and live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I love technology, fashion, and discussing ideas. I'm extraordinarily fascinated by people.
I operate under this creed: I will spend the entirety of my existence trying to live up to whatever made me special enough to deserve the enchanted life I was given, and attempt to appreciate it appropriately every step of the way.
I'm all kinds of fun.
Welcome to my vanity blog! xx

Atlanta, Pt. 1
My trip began in Seattle. Sea-Tac was more or less uneventful and my layover in Milwaukee was about the same. We touched down in Atlanta at about 5pm and the southern sunshine welcomed me with open arms. Philip was quick … Continue reading
