Jason Hedrick

Travel Expert

Having grown up in Egypt and lived in a few areas abroad, I have a passion for travel. I have been fortunate to travel to many areas around the globe. I love going to areas that are different than what I am used to. I love to explore and discover the difference. One of my absolute favorite areas is Africa. I have traveled extensively through East and Southern Africa and it never gets old.

Other areas that I have a passion for include Europe, especially France where I spent many of my college years.

I have also travelled extensively through Southeast Asia. One of my favorite experiences was on a river cruise down the Mekong in Vietnam and was able to visit the villages along and see first-hand the way of life of the people.

Travel is a way of life for me and it is a part of who I am. It is not just a process of organizing a flight or a hotel. It is about the experience.

We had a great time and G Adventures turned out to be just the right fit for us. Our tour leader was great and our fellow travelers were fun. We had a good balance of planned activities and then some time to do our own thing. The transfers you set up worked well.

Thank you for all your help with our travel plans to Scotland and Ireland. Each hotel you recommended was wonderful. The Perle at Oban, Knockranny House and Killarney Park were perfect locations and wonderful accommodations and service. Westbury in Dublin was also amazing! We appreciate your help and expertise!

Our trip has been MAGICAL for me. Every place we have stayed we are looked after and cared for our comfort, happiness and safety have been top priority. The villa was a perfect fit to start the trip. Friendly staff and made the most delicious food and the lemongrass tea was amazing. One nature lodge was a dream come true. A perfect place to stay. The staff was perfect. The food amazing the game drives were amazing. The diversity of wildlife blew my mind. Here in rwanda the house overwhelmingly special. We just finished our second day of gorilla trekking and both were transcendental.

I wish I could paint a much better picture with my words. What I have seen so far I feel just has to rest in my soul.

Thank you 🙏🏻 you have planned a trip far above anything I have ever experienced in my life. Truly with all my heart… thank you.

Jason,

Thank you so much for all that you did in planning our trip.
The itinerary was perfect. How you had done the order of the lodges was great. All of the lodges were beautiful and different than the others so we do not have a favorite, it’s hard to compare them all. They all were just so perfect. The food at all of them was delicious, and the staff were all so friendly and amazing. Thank you for planning such a seamless trip. We did not have to think about anything except our excitement for what animals we were going to get to see that day.

Every lodge had something special for us which so sweet and kind. We also got to see the Big 5 and the migration herd.

You have shown us a love for Africa now and we are already trying to decide when we can go back. Thank you again. We will reach out hopefully soon to plan the next trip.

Hi Jason,
It was great. The cruise in and of itself was wonderful, they really have this wired.
All the towns, cities we saw and toured were places that I doubt we would have ever visited.
A great trip all around. Now we are ready for our next trip!!
Thank you for putting this together.
