Ayyyy welcome back to your fave travel podcast. Thanks for tuning in and getting yourself ready to make some MOVES with me. Let's get it!

In Season 4 Episode 10, I am joined by Diána from Hungary. Diána , also known as The Globetrotting Detective, is a full-time traveler and travel blogger. She travels to some of the world’s most misunderstood and often considered “dangerous” destinations including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Diána creates detailed, practical travel guides to help travelers understand the reality of these countries, learn how to travel there, and navigate confidently. As a solo female traveler, Diána challenges stereotypes and proves that these countries are far more than their headlines. Through her journeys, she highlights their rich culture, welcoming people, diverse cuisine, and stunning landscapes, inviting others to see them with fresh eyes.

To share this passion with others, Diána now organizes tours to these destinations. Her first tour to Afghanistan is completely led and organized by women with local female tour guides and includes unique women-only experiences, giving travelers a rare chance to connect with Afghan women and experience the country through their eyes.

In today's episode, we dive into Diána's solo travels throughout Afghanistan. Over two months of solo travel across the country, Diána has set out to see the reality behind the headlines. She wanted to meet the people and reveal the human side of a country totally reduced to war, the Taliban, oppression, and the burqa. Through her journeys, Diána shows that there’s far more to Afghanistan than what makes the news. Tune in today!
