It would be an understatement to say that there aren't many Hondurans in Tasmania - as far as she knows, Diana and her husband are the only ones. Coming from a country that is heavily influenced by the US, she and her husband wanted to gain experience in a different English-speaking country and have a bit of an adventure. Her husband was also keen to settle in a place with four seasons...though perhaps Tasmania "overdelivered" in this regard !
Although Diana's background is in community services, her first job was at a bottle shop in Hobart, which gave her a unique induction into Tasmanian culture and people. During the first lockdown in Hobart , she was surprised to find that bottle shops were considered an "essential service" and she was able to observe some noticeable cultural differences from what might be expected in Honduras.
