Hi, I’m Diane—the traveler behind Where to Next.

Travel is more than a getaway for me. It’s one of the places where I feel most like myself.

It has taught me lessons no job title or formal education ever could. How to be resourceful. How to stay open to the unexpected. How to trust myself in unfamiliar places. And how some of the most meaningful moments happen when you leave a little room for the unknown.

That cliché about stepping onto a plane and leaving your stress behind?

Very much me.

I’m not the traveler with every hour planned and color-coded. I usually choose one or two things I absolutely want to experience, then allow the rest of the trip to unfold naturally.

I love wandering through unfamiliar streets, talking to locals, following a recommendation that wasn’t on my original list, learning the history behind the places I visit, and letting the energy of a destination guide me.

For me, travel is found in the big moments, but also in the little ones. A quiet street. A beautiful sunset. A conversation with a stranger. A place I knew very little about that somehow stays with me long after I leave.

After traveling to more than 50 countries, I created Where to Next to share the stories, history, itineraries, packing tips, photographs, and honest lessons gathered along the way.

I’m also a certified travel advisor, which means I can do more than inspire your next trip. I can help you plan and book it, too.

Everything shared here comes from real experiences, real destinations, and the way travel has shaped my perspective one journey at a time.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, practical travel advice, or help planning your own adventure, I’m so happy you found your way here.

Welcome to Where to Next!
