Warm greetings!
My name is Sofara, and I've recently moved to Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan to work as a primary school teacher. I'm hoping to make new friends in the area, learn Kurdish language and culture and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy traveling individually but I would like to meet locals living in the areas I travel to.

Interests

Weekdays are for working, weekends are for traveling! I like learning about ancient cultures, and I try to keep fit through running, hiking, gym and rugby (depending on the location).
