My name is Alvarez. I’m an ex-Floridian now living in Oakland, California.

I’m interested in exploring new places, learning new things, trying stuff, and understanding other cultures.

I’m a first generation Cuban-American. I’m queer if that matters to you and references that I have on this profile were left before I legally changed my name.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends globally as well as nearby. And to travel to places more frequently when I otherwise wouldn’t likely be able to make it happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaked overnight with a headlamp to watch the sunrise and to see the river wake up. Found a bat cave on this trip and a black cloud of bats rushed into their cave as the sun came up 🦇 🦇 🦇
