Why, hello there!

It's the end of 2014 and I am ready to join the information age -- hello, Blogosphere (it's cool that I call you that, right?), my name is Diana Copeland and I'm very happy to meet you.

A few things about me: I live in LA now but grew up in Miami and have lived in Austria, China, Japan and England (and maybe a few places in between). I'm a great fan of traveling and exploring new cultures -- and when I can't catch a flight to learn about new countries, I'll pull up a recipe and try my hand at voyaging via cuisine.

I used to work in publishing (cook books, to be exact) and I've had a handful of odd jobs since then (producing plays, teaching English, website developer, social media marketing, baking wedding cakes, spreading cheer as a professional Christmas Elf -- you name it, I've probably done it) but am now working happily in television.

I'd like to use this blog to meet new people who share my interests, but I'll also post recipes now and again, and probably a few news articles I think are important, or just videos that make me laugh.

This will be great fun, I just know it.
