Since childhood Pawel Jedruch has had two passions, sports and travels. While he never became a soccer player, he did work as a sports journalist for some time. However, ultimately it was his craving for space, wandering, and the world beyond the horizon that shaped his life and future choices. Before he even learned how to read, as a child, Pawel used to study world maps and atlases. Somehow, his little fingers always stopped at the places like Siberia or the northern borders of Canada. These days, his first steps in any bookstore direct him towards the section of travel guides; he has a hundred of them in his personal library.
His first independent excursion took him to Jarocin Festival, and he was still just a kid.
As a geography student at the Jagiellonian University, he organized his first trip, choosing Central Asia as his main destination. He reached the farthest corners of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan, holding that region in high esteem to this very day. After graduation, Pawel left for Canada and the world opened its doors to him. Having worked in tourism industry since 2005, he visited almost 50 countries on 5 continents. Constantly travelling, he takes only 15 minutes to pack and leave for the airport, catching a plane in the last moment. He does not like losing and always perseveres in his dreams and plans, guaranteeing his clients the best service and unforgettable experiences. Organization of trips and tours is much more than a job for Pawel; first and foremost, it is his real passion. He does not offer trips to Europe, planning to explore this part of the world when he retires. Fascinated by different cultures, landscapes, and flavors, Pawel loves the backcountry, the wilderness, canoe rides, and fishing. Apart from Rio de Janeiro, big cities suffocate him.
When he reaches a new destination, he always takes a different route back. He also enjoys returning to the areas he visited before, especially when it comes to the places like Bolivian Altiplano, the Japanese Alps, or the Labrador interior. When he starts planning another group trip, he looks for a place he has never visited before and jumps on a place to experience it on his own. At the same time, he establishes contacts with local tourism operators to announce the trip dates and open registration, right upon his return. This method allows him to come up with high standard, very attractive price offers.
Although not skiing himself, Pawel has organized the most enthralling ski expeditions in Ontario for a few seasons already. He invited his customers everywhere from the Argentinian and Chilean Alps (Bariloche, Las Lenas, Portillo, Valle Nevado), the Japanese Alps (Shiga-kogen, Nozawa Onsen), to Alaska (Alyeska) and New Zealand (Coronet Peak, Remarkables and TrebleCone).
His enthusiasm, resourcefulness, candor, sense of humor, and interpersonal skills have brought him many customers and friends.
For the last three years, thanks to Pawel’s cooperation with the Polish travel agency, Piast Travel, thousands of tourists from Canada and the US, but also a number of Poles living on different continents, have explored the most beautiful corners of the world. And he was there with them.
