In his entertaining and highly interactive style, he weaves together stories about people and myths from the past and how they relate to modern day life.

For the traveler with a thirst for more than just a history lesson, love4adventure's™ tours are an indispensable component to any European holiday.

Jason and his friendly guides engage their guests in a way that draws on their own experiences in the fields of art, history and theology. They have an enthusiastic, easy-to-follow approach which makes a potentially daunting visit to the Vatican Museums interesting and fun.

Jason's passion for travel began when he was only 12 years old. Vacationing with his family in Cuba gave him his first taste of a world outside his own. Always a keen observer of details, even as a small boy, he was impressed by the contrast of such beauty coexisting amongst such chaos. He was intrigued by the diversity of the people and their stories. It was at that moment that the explorer in him was born.

One of Jason's most memorable travel experiences came during his first visit to Rome. A fellow tour guide took him to see the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano where the story of the "Scala Santa" captured his imagination. Legend has it that these "scala" or stairs, were brought to Rome from ancient Jerusalem and that Christ walked upon them on his way to being condemned by Pontius Pilot. Humbled by the history surrounding him, Jason decided to learn more. Many years later, his fascination with the Ancient City remains just as strong, inspiring his daily tours of Rome's treasures.

With over eight years of experience as a professional tour guide, Jason has visited 40 countries on six continents and traveled over 60,000 miles (100,000 km). He has been river rafting and caving in Laos, explored the Amazonian rainforest of Bolivia, and braved the freezing waters of South Africa to swim amongst great white sharks. His passion for adventure knows no bounds.

It is this endless desire for new and exciting experiences, as well as his natural ability to teach, inspire, and entertain, that make love4adventure™ more than just a tour company. In fact, love4adventure™ is built on Jason's vision of helping others learn more about themselves and the world through travel.
