Hi, my name is Brenda Chiara, I’m from Lima, Peru, and I’m 32 years old.

I’m a bit new to this app, but as they say, there’s a first time for everything, so here I am, excited to see how it goes.

I’m very passionate about the environment and nature, which is why a few years ago I started a project in Peru focused on replacing disposable products with reusable ones.
I dedicated almost four years giving it my all, and I can proudly say it worked. But like anyone with dreams, one of mine was to travel and do a Working Holiday.

Life has its ways, and on one of my trips, I met someone who really encouraged me to take the leap. Just before turning 31, I did it. I had to put my project on hold, but I plan to return to it when I’m back in my country, with fresh ideas and all the energy I have.

I traveled to Australia for my Working Holiday in 2024, which opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Since then, I’ve explored Asia (Bali, Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, India), and now I’m discovering Europe for the very first time.

I believe everything happens at the right time. Sometimes the best things take a while, but they arrive and I don’t regret how things unfolded or my age for taking this journey. Traveling at this stage of my life allows me to see everything from a new perspective.

Every trip is like a new page, filled with adventures, reflections, fears, challenges, joys, personal growth, love, and more.

I love sharing my experiences, and I believe this platform is the perfect way to do it, because for me, traveling isn’t just about discovering places; it’s also about sharing experiences and making friends along the way.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Getting my Advanced Scuba Diver Certification, this was the most challenging but incredible activity I’ve done in life, been underwater leaving control and just breathing and getting lost with all the ocean life is amazing.

教，学，和分享

I love sharing my passion for sustainable living, eco-friendly practices, and Peruvian culture, as well as travel tips from my journeys through Asia, Australia, and Europe. Also some Spanish words could be fun ;)

I’m open to learn about local traditions, languages, cooking, and unique ways to explore nature and adventure.

For me, Couchsurfing is all about exchanging stories, ideas, good vibes, and making meaningful connections along the way.
