About the Guides

Hulda holds a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and Diplomacy from Mercy College in New York. She is from Gabon and speaks Punu, French, English and is learning Spanish. Hulda is an advocate for human rights, especially the rights of children living in conflict-affected regions. She joined the United Nations because she believes "it's crucial for the world to learn about the work of the UN and its impact in peoples’ lives". By sharing that knowledge with visitors on her tours, she hopes they get inspired to be part of the solution. Hulda enjoys reading, listening to music, volunteering and researching the benefits of foods and plants.

Nodoka, a native of Japan, graduated with a bachelor's degree in International Languages and Cultures from Setsunan University. Fluent in Japanese and English, and possessing intermediate proficiency in Spanish, she is currently expanding her linguistic repertoire by learning French. Nodoka's interest in international cooperation was sparked during her teenage years, and it grew even stronger after she had the opportunity to visit Burkina Faso in West Africa. Motivated by her passion for fostering global collaboration, Nodoka joined the United Nations with the specific goal of becoming a tour guide. Through this role, she aims to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about the UN's vital work and promote greater understanding among diverse audiences. In her leisure time, she finds joy in Japanese calligraphy, photography, cooking, and reading.
