Hi! My name is Allison Alvarez, and I'm a 28-year-old traveler from Lima, Peru. I have always had a passion for exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures.. I'm an open-minded, outgoing, and down-to-earth person who enjoys meeting new people and learning about their ways of life, I believe that every person has something unique to teach me. I'm looking for new and exciting experiences and traveling provides endless opportunities for adventure and self-discovery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By staying with a local host, I will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the city's customs, traditions, and way of life. I'm also excited to learn about the local's favorite places to visit, eat, and have fun. I believe that Couchsurfing provides the opportunity to truly immerse myself in the culture and have an unforgettable travel experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to a wide range of genres, specially reggae, hip-hop, dancehall and latin music such as reggaeton and salsa.

I'm also an avid reader and I like to challenge myself by reading in other languages to help improve my language skills. I have no particular preference when it comes to literature, I love to read anything that catches my eye.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started Women Biz (a community to educate women on emerging technologies) two years ago, not really knowing where it would go, and now it's turned into something I'm fully invested in. I still take on other work to help pay the bills, but seeing how far we've come and what’s ahead is honestly so exciting. If you're into tech or entrepreneurship, I think you'll really love what we're building.

and Skiing for the first time was one of the best things of my life, I fell in love inmediately!
