Dear reader,

thank You for visiting my site!

I am Andrés Diaz, the writer behind diazan.com. I was born in South America and moved to Germany as a teenager. After school I made a degree as foreign language correspondent and sales assistant in retail business in a company I learnt to like. After a few years there a small voice in my mind became louder and I decided to quit and travel around.

As for many things in my life my plans didn’t work out and I met her, my girlfriend instead of travelling and working 8 months through Australia, 2 months New Zealand and working one month in China. Thus I spent 3 months in Australia, 3 weeks in Japan and since December 2009 I am longing for a new chapter in my life.

diazan.com started as a blog for my journey, and throughout my first posts I noticed that there is more I want to write about. Moreover I started to have fun writing and friends told me they were disappointed for not seeing almost any pictures but only written posts.

diazan.com is about learning. I want to share the small wisdom I have and would much appreciate being able to learn from you while doing so.

Contact me anytime.

Best regards,

Andrés
