Christina Hurduiala

Christina HurduialaThere’s so much that makes me smile about being a Travelsphere Holiday Director. Knowing that I am going to a place that I love, and that I will be able to guide a group of Travelsphere customers and pass on my enthusiasm to them.

I am Romanian and have lived in Italy for many years - I love the Italian people, I love the food, I love the history, art and culture. Outside of Europe, I think Costa Rica is one of the best destinations – it’s such an adventure. There are so many things to do, from sailing down the river trying to spot crocodiles, to canopy tours in the middle of the jungle. It’s truly wonderful. I’ve been a Travelsphere Holiday Director for 16 years and absolutely love it! I enjoy taking people to places I cherish and seeing how each new group experiences a place differently. As I have been travelling for so long, I don’t need to take home souvenirs – the satisfaction on a customer’s face when I take them to the airport and they tell me they’ve had the holiday of a lifetime is, for me, the best souvenir of all.

Karylin Sempers

Karylin SempersI joined Travelsphere in 2003 and have been so privileged to have led some amazing tours. Kerala is a special destination for me - I always love sharing my love of this region with our groups. Namibia is unique too, such wide open space with so few people. To walk up the largest sand dunes in the world and to see the Milky Way with your own eyes are experiences you’ll never forget. Italy is where my Travelsphere journey started and I like to return when I can. The Amalfi Coast, Lake Garda, and a visit to the opera in Verona are wonderful holidays, enjoyed by groups who are as passionate about Italy as I am. Wow, what a job! I am so fortunate to bring smiles to our customers faces every day!

Sarah Wrightson

Sarah WrightsonI’ve had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember, and nowadays I love to share that passion with others. As a Holiday Director, it’s my job to introduce you to the cultural and social differences of a country, its history, language and cuisine. I’m also there to offer tips about what to do, where to go and of course, where to find the best ice cream! I’ve worked for Travelsphere for 12 years. One of my all-time favourite places in Europe is Italy, but many of the tours I lead take me eastwards to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and India. At home I enjoy cycling, photography, scuba diving and sewing, but with such itchy feet my suitcase is always half-packed and my passport ready to go.
