Hi! My name is Bela. I was born in Paraguay and grew up in Italy, so connecting with different cultures has always been a natural part of my life.

For the past 5 years I’ve been living in Australia, where I’ve also been working and traveling. Being on the road has taught me that the best part of traveling isn’t just seeing places, but really experiencing them through people, stories, and everyday life.

This year I’m traveling through South America with my boyfriend Brendan, a kind and easygoing Australian — and a former chef. I’m vegetarian, and together we love cooking and sharing meals. We’d be really happy to prepare something delicious for you and exchange recipes from our different backgrounds.

Brendan is currently learning Spanish, so this journey is also a great opportunity for him to practice and improve through real connections with local people.

We’re not just looking to visit places — we’re genuinely interested in cultural exchange and full immersion. We enjoy meaningful conversations, learning how people live, and sharing simple everyday moments.

We are respectful, open-minded, and curious travelers. For us, Couchsurfing is not just about a place to stay — it’s about connection, generosity, and creating real experiences together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea to connect with people while travelling, learning about the country I'm visiting.
