Jason Stratford, South Pacific expert
	My Photobook Bio: Born in Adelaide, Australia, Jason has traveled extensively throughout Asia and the South Pacific. He has a vast background in the travel & tourism industry, having worked in various tourist, car rental, hotel, airline, and tour operator offices. He has experience in both retail and wholesale travel, particularly in the South Pacific. He recently completed a self-drive tour of some of the Lord Of The Rings Locations in New Zealand and has now become a specialist in "Middle Earth" travel!  Besides this area of the world, Jason has a soft spot for Alberta, particularly Banff, where he worked for several years. Also Berlin, Germany where he thoroughly enjoyed the history and excitement of that famous city on a recent visit. Jason is our South Pacific expert, and manages our new SOUTH PACIFIC DIVISION.  Jason says, "You need a hearty sense of humour to thrive in this business!"
Expertise: All things South Pacific, of course, including airfares and routings, Asia, and Alberta. Favourite Place: "I have a major love for the Banff Springs Hotel, where I worked for 6 months Nelson at the top of the North Island of New Zealand is a big favourite of mine.  It is a town full of arts and crafts and a major gateway to wineries in the area and some of the most stunning scenery and adventure options.  Also, I'll have to pick my home town of Adelaide in South Australia, a pretty city of 1 million people, great beaches, multi-cultural character, great restaurants, and a major sporting capital. It is one of the driest cities in the driest state in the world!" (Okay, we'll bite: why did you move to Vancouver?) Hobbies: Australian Rules Football (more of an obsession than a hobby), movies, cats, travel, tennis, swimming, cricket, soccer, hockey, singing, Buddhism, music, long-distance spitting (just kidding), soup, Asian food, Germany and the German language and our Margaret's fabulous afternoon tea! Travel Tip: Always pack a spare jar of Vegemite in case you find yourself in an uncivilized country!
