Back home in Australia, it was custom to go "walk about" and learn how to "live off the land." A Royal ranger for seven years, Didiayer became highly-skilled in "bushman's law" and eco-travel. Building shelters, finding drinking water and cooking dampa (Australian camp bread) became the foundation on which she first developed her love for the planet. She says, "As I educated myself more about the things we humans do to harm the planet, I knew I had to step up." And step up she has.

A longtime volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, she has contributed her carpentry skills and knowledge on sustainable living to communities all across the nation. In 2008, she was their national ambassador and worked alongside construction companies to build 280 energy efficient homes in a week.

When it comes to getting people in touch with the environment, she uses her professional organizational skills (she's a member of NAPO and NSGCD) and educates homeowners on how to live an environmentally conscious, clutter-free life. Today, Didiayer continues to read everything she can get her hands on about lessening our carbon footprint, as well as meeting with people in a variety of fields.

The Travel Channel took notice of Didiayer's knowledge and background as a licensed home inspector, and in 2005 she became the host of the channel's hit show, Amazing Vacation Homes. They later asked her to host The World's Best Beaches and Off the Beaten Path. Soon after, in 2007, ABC invited her to join the Emmy Award-winning Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. And we're sure glad they did.

Says Didiayer: "It's an honor to be the show's green voice. And, since I'm the ultimate do-it-herselfer, the hat that I wear for the show is the one that I've worn for a long time."
