Let's go DEEP
Dive. Explore. Educate. Protect
If you had a choice, which one would you choose? To go to incredible destinations, have unique experiences and make connections with like-minded adventurers, or support worthy conservation efforts to leave the world a better place? Why choose when you can do both? Join Jewels, a conservation biologist, dive professional, and world adventurer, for unforgettable travels around the globe! With the purpose to learn about our planet and help conservation programs, we will have more meaningful experiences.
Jewels believes people will only protect what they care about and feel connected with, and to achieve true connection one must understand and experience first-hand what this incredible world and all its miraculous creatures have to offer. In addition to providing exceptional travel memories, every Love of Experience trip aims to provide fun environmental education, participate in conservation activities, and support worthy organizations dedicated to protecting our planet and wildlife. A portion of every trip's cost goes to supporting conservation organizations, research, or projects so we may have a lasting positive impact.
My Story
Hi! I'm Jewels! I absolutely love experiences of all kinds as well as the ocean, wildlife, and the environment. I desire to live my life to the fullest! A life filled with adventure, exploration, learning, service, connection, and no regrets! I am also deeply passionate about leaving this world a better place for all creatures and ecosystems. I created Love of Experience to share these values with others, because experiences are more meaningful when we can support our planet and life is too short to not experience as much as we can.
I have a plethora of stories and experiences to share. I've traveled the world for 7 years and lived in many places like India, Indonesia, Australia, Scotland, Thailand, and Mexico. As a conservation biologist I did research studies for birds, bats, and monkeys in Belize, tracked wolves in Montana, and protected habitats throughout the USA. I've worked as an underwater photographer, dive master in Thailand, a marine snorkel guide in Australia, dive instructor in Komodo National Park, a dive guide trainer at an Eco resort in Raja Ampat, and dive instructor in Colorado. With almost 3,000 dives in numerous locations and experience in all kinds of diving - caves, wrecks, currents, night, freediving - I have gained knowledge and skills to pass on to other divers. Safety for people and the environment is paramount to me. In addition to being a dive professional with rescue, CPR, and first aid training, I have also worked as a whitewater rafting guide, zipline guide, night walk guide, and led jungle expeditions and backpacking trips - all that required safety training and problem solving under challenging conditions.
I am so grateful for all the dive and travel experiences I've had, and I know there is still so much more to explore!!!
Will you join me on our next Love of Experience adventure?
