George Alvarez

Latin America Travel Writer

United Kingdom

Hi there, my name is George and I'm from the UK.

A serious travel enthusiast, you'll most likely find me somewhere around the world with a backpack! I have been to over 40 countries and counting, with plans to visit many more. I'm currently living in Lima, Peru.

I am a Freelance Writer, Editor and Ghostwriter. My most experienced topic is travel in Latin America, given I have been living this lifestyle for years and know all of these countries through and through.

I have experience writing for both my own blogs, as well as private clients.

Projects range from articles and informative guides to more creative-style writing (See Portfolio below for completed and live work).
