Hi, I'm Diana.

In June 2015 I decided to quit my job, pack everything I own into a backpack and set out on an adventure.

I am most interested in people and sharing stories. I like to learn about different cultures and cuisine (I work as a chef when not travelling.. or while travelling). I believe in the beauty of diversity and that we are all part of one big tribe.

As I travel I do volunteering (helping with tourism, eco farms, film festivals, art projects etc.). I like to hitchhike. I am a slow traveller.

I also practice yoga and meditation, am interested in sustainable and non-monetary exchange-based ways of living, permaculture projects. Nature and animals make me happy.

If you're interested in my art work, you can see:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do not believe that everything must have a price tag.

I want to trade my stories, poems, drawings, general creative company and help with anything I can in exchange for your hospitality and maybe a little story of your own. :)

Interests

I am curious about everything, that's why I travel I think.

I am very open-minded, enjoy conversing on all topics ranging from culture, food and art to spirituality and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of different music, I like ethnic/world music, regge, electronic but also jazz, classic, stuff from the 50s and 60s.. am always open to anything new I've never heard before.

I like cinema very much, it is hard to choose a favorite. But we can watch a film together always or have a long conversation about it.

From books I like most fairytales and travel stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, stories, drawing a picture for/of them, cooking hacks, travel/ hitchhiking advice, do yoga/meditate together.
