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.

You made a trip of a lifetime possible. Our hotels were fabulous! Perfect locations as well. We all appreciated having a comfortable place to recharge. From Oslo, Bergen, Flam and even the breeze through Reykavik’s airport. Thank you for the hard work and care that you took to make sure we only had to worry about what to choose from the buffets.

Jason was there to help six people coming from three locations, visit four separate countries. It went perfectly! Everything was done quickly. We had lots of questions and always got our answers. He took out all the complications for us. Jason is always friendly and professional. We most certainly will be working with Jason again.

Maureen & Jason,

I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know we had an incredible trip. The hotels, guides, everything was first class and well done. We had some wonderful meals and seafood as good as everything we have here in Louisiana, much to my surprise. Thank you both for your help in both setting this up as well as staying with us over the multiple rescheduling activities. At one point we were concerned that three weeks may be too long to be gone however we both said we could have stayed another three weeks.
Again thank you for all of the help.
