Content Manager

Biografía

Hey! I'm Derika, and I found my groove in the Content Marketing team at TourScanner in 2022. Specializing in Marketing & Strategy, I've spent four years working in the tourism field, helping people create memorable travel experiences. My passion for history and architecture shines through both in and out of work. During my off-duty hours, you'll find me immersed in vocal coaching for Carnival, perfecting my dance steps, or strumming my guitar.

Antecedentes de viaje

Growing up in coastal regions for most of my life, as a child my parents took me on journeys exploring diverse beaches from northern to southern Brazil. During my early adulthood, I lived in bustling cities like Rio de Janeiro, and spent two years in London. For me, no itinerary is complete without trying new local cuisine and taking long walks to discover every minor spot, which are integral experiences for understanding local history and culture, the people, and their stories. Some magical explorations I've undertaken solo or with friends include South America, Spain, the Czech Republic, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Cambridge, Bath, the Netherlands and more.

Mejores experiencias de viaje

The time I reached my 'nirvana' while contemplating the Stonehenge rocks in Bath and almost missed my tour bus (I had to run a lot to catch it). The overwhelming emotion I felt watching my first Flamenco show in Barcelona, rocking Oktoberfest in Munich, and the vibrant celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in Dublin also stand out. There, I accidentally entered the 'wrong' door and found myself treated to a private presentation by four tap dancers from Riverdance.
