Experience

She's written city guides for National Geographic, covered debt and investment for Yahoo! and researched technical topics for Popular Mechanics. She also writes for Ripley's Believe It or Not! and is a regular contributor to Planetware, The Motley Fool, and PetMD. Diana is also a writer/editor at Expats.cz, the largest English-language news site in the Czech Republic. At Grunge, she's putting her passion for history and travel to good use.

Education
