Hi!

My name is Hoda and I am a Biology/Chem teacher from Toronto, Canada.

I teach internationally, have lived in a few different countries and have loved travelling and exploring these past few years. Although COVID was certainly a hit - I still look for opportunities to seek out adventure, even if it’s just at home in Canada.

I am currently back home in Toronto working on my Principal Qualifications but will be heading out to start a new chapter in Morocco August 2022!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the most important part of traveling is the people you meet along the way.
Yes, the beautiful places and fun activities are amazing - but the relationships you build are everlasting.

Traveling helps to make the world a little smaller.
Couchsurfing is an amazing opportunity to meet people, break bread and share stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I randomly picked up and moved to South Korea by myself and immersed myself in the culture and language for almost two years. I did the same thing in Bulgaria for 3 years.

These were the best thing AND the most terrifying things I've ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a teacher - I can teach English, Farsi, and even a little bit of Korean and French
I have also worked as a personal trainer so if you are looking for a workout buddy I'm your girl!
