Jewelz
Jewlez is the founder of Hoopy Happenings, an annual hooping retreat in Australia. Jewelz doesn't remember ever thinking "I want to own my own business" yet her first foray into business was in China in 1997 when she started X-Pat Travel Planners arranging custom tailored travel mostly within China for expatriates living in Guangzhou. That was in another life...fast forward to this one...she twirled into a love affair with hula hooping and next thing you know those hoops spun into her business "Jewelz A Hoopz". She founded the first hula hoop retreat in Australia in 2011 and this year will be the 9th chapter.
