  • Description

    Hey! Merhaba! :)

    I am Diala, Syrian / German , I live in Hamburg, Germany and work as an architect .
    I have lived in London, UK and in Istanbul, Turkey, and for sure Damascus, Syria. I come from a coastal Mediterranean city and that is why I love to be close to the sea especially Mediterranean 💙
    My continuous travelling taught me
    a lot depending on the age, culture and the phase I was in my life.
    The mutual thing is that I like to travel, meet people, learn, laugh and share.

    I visited many countries as a tourist or as a student, I lived in many different smaller cities also.
    Basically, since I left Syria, I never stopped traveling and moving. While this is exhausting sometimes, it helped a lot my flexibility and enriched my openness to the world.

    I like handmade work (Clay, Embroidery, Cross Stitching and Macrame).
    I am planning to use that as a small business in the future.
    I like cooking, planting, digital computer drawings.
    I also like hiking and I am a member of a wonderful team who organise 4 hikes each year for people (Frans Hike Group), this community allows me to meet new people each year, hear their stories and share with them great moment in intensive 5 hiking days.

    So, I am here for the same reason! I want to discover places, meet people, putting myself out of my routine and comfort zone. Learn something new and use my skills to share!
    my curiosity brought me here and I am excited!

    Thank you
