EXPERT BIO

Recognized by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top 80 travel agents in North America, Derrick has come a long way from Namibia in southern Africa, where he grew up.He's lived in five countries on four continents and lost count of places he's visited.He describes himself as being "fascinated, enthralled and spellbound by anything related to travel".He's even married to a travel agent!

Derrick understands that everyone has a different idea of the perfect vacation, so he tailors your trip to your specific requirements, whether it's a walking tour of Provence or Peru, a driving tour of Italy or Australia, or cooking lessons in Vietnam or Vienna.He goes beyond the usual level of service, and relishes setting up details like dinner reservations in Istanbul, tee-times in Thailand and once even arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered to a camel-safari encampment in the middle of the desert in Rajasthan.

Derrick's specialties include high-end ocean, river and canal cruises (he's a Regent/Radisson Seven Seas-certified expert).Special destinations include Europe, Africa (of course), Canada, the South Pacific (he got married in Fiji), and parts of South America.He is a wizard at finding good hotels all over the globe, and at providing out-of-the-ordinary concierge-style service.

Derrick BlochDerrick Bloch has been around more than most: born in Namibia, Africa (and therefore our resident Africa specialist), he's lived in five countries on four continents and visited thirty-odd more; he's a published travel-writer, an avid scuba-diver, a fair photographer and a former paratrooper.
