My name is Diana and I was born in Miami, FL to Colombian parents. Even though I lived many years outside of Colombia, I was partly raised here in Bogotá and I’ve always had a strong connection with the country and its gastronomy. After travelling for several years studying culinary arts, gastronomy and international development, I decided to return to Bogotá in hopes of reconnecting with my roots and letting people know a bit more about Colombia through its cuisine and culture. My blog, Bogotá Eats & Drinks, was born in 2008 as a hobby and has been growing ever since, attracting a variety of readers from around the world.

With Michael, my partner in crime and travels, we decided to go straight away to Colombia after recommendations from fellow travellers. As soon as we got there, we decided to launch a travel portal to record our Colombian trips and help other travellers willing to explore the country. Off2 Colombia was born and is now the largest independant source of information for travelling in Colombia. I have been in Colombia 2 years now and I am loving every day of my life in my new adopted country.
