THE NATURE WHISPERER María Florencia Soldati, Argentina, Trip Manager, 3 years with Contiki “I love to share my passion for travel with people from all over the world. My Contiki mates are young and enthusiastic travellers hungry for life and new experiences. I can´t ask for a better job, I am always ready for a new adventure.”
THE PARTY STARTER THE CULTURAL GURU Mayra Arboleda, Quito, Ecuador Trip Manager, 4 years with Contiki “I am very proud of my culture and country and through Contiki I can share this with all the passionate travellers that seek to discover the world. Travelling is one of the few things in life that stays with you forever. All the new experiences open up your eyes and make you better understand other people and cultures. Travelling helps you grow up, get to know yourself better and makes you appreciate your background and family. But watch out it is addictive!”
Ismael Pedraza, Mexico Trip Manager, 4 years with Contiki “As a restless traveller, I always look for an authentic experience. So, I love to share my country and it’s history with every person that visits, knowing that they are getting a local experience. Travelling is a way to open your eyes and conscience, it makes you realize what you have and what you can achieve. It expands your horizons and it’s something that refreshes your life every time you do it.”
STUFF TRIP MANAGERS KNOW
“When in Quito don’t forget to try “espumilla” this traditional desert is like a merengue made of fresh guava and strawberries. Ladies carry it around on trays and looks like ice cream that never melts! For only 50 cents!!” @mayactiki
“If you’re in Buenos Aires on a Sunday, don’t miss the San Telmo Market. Everyone pours into the streets to enjoy hundreds of stalls selling antiques, trinkets, art and delicious food and watch the tango dancers perform live.” @Florcontiki
