After living abroad she finally settled down in Prague, together with her Polish husband Martin and her two sons, Marcus and Nicolas. Marcus is a very thoughtful and gentle child, Nicolas is always looking for trouble and smacking his head on pretty much anything that gets in his way. Darina likes all kinds of sport but mainly enjoys Power Yoga and Squash. Her favorite hobby is traveling and meeting people from all nationalities. That is one of the reasons why she chose to work in the travel business all her life.
