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.

Wow just wow! Snowboarding in Chile was such an great experience and overall very exceptional! The tour guides were amazing. Knowledgeable, informative and accommodating. The Singular hotel in Santiago was beautiful! Casa Higuera in Valparaiso was also really quaint and centrally located. A lovely property. And wow – Kingston winery was beautiful. The meal there was exceptional!
We are thrilled with the experience and thank you Jason so much for your efforts and hope to be able to arrange something again in the future.

Jason, thank you so much.

Our African Safari trip was great and Swain was wonderful to work with. They were very communicative and easy to work with. I would recommend them again for planning purposes.

There is nothing to note or make changes on – every part of the trip was excellent from Drivers, to hotels, to our safari.

Thank you again for planning such a great trip.

We had an amazing time in Japan and can’t thank you enough for all you did to make this trip happen. We had so many incredible experiences, each one better than the next. Mount Fuji and the Geisha dinner were my personal highlights.
In great appreciation, Shauna

Hi Jason – we had a great trip! Really enjoyed the Portugal tour with G Adventures and would recommend that travel company to others. It was a good size (15 of us) and well planned. Our guide was really well informed and friendly. A couple of favorite excursions were to Evora, including a visit to a cork farm and winery and the Chapel of Bones.

We loved our accommodation in Marrakesch – La Maison Arabe. Everything about it, the service, food and decor, was wonderful. I would go there again. We did a walking tour of the medina with a guide we found through Airbnb that was also a highlight.

Thanks again
The Myers
