Jean has played a major role in bringing influencers and celebrities together to devote much of their image towards philanthropy and altruistic events to benefit those in need.
He's been interviewed on countless news and media, including TV appearances with Enrique Lazcano on Channel 14, on a show that was aired alongside entrepreneur Ophelia Pastrana. He has been featured in many podcasts where he discusses the importance of influencers in the communication space, where he also asks other public figures to use their online image for the greater good.
Explorer also did a live appearance at CBC News Canada where he was interviewed in 2017. He did live news coverage as a local presenter for the famous Canadian TV station's foothold in Mexico.
Jean is also famous for a documentary on Mexico's devastating earthquake in 2017, created in partnership with fellow videographer Fer Van Vazquez. The video gathered over half a million views and it was aired around the world in multiple news channels in countries such as USA, Canada, Uruguay, Spain, France, and more.
Jean is also known for appearing in China TV stations in Beijing in 2017. He was taken to China to explore the country's capital and its surroundings, while being invited to talk in front of an audience of travel representatives and tour agencies on his recommendations to increase incoming international traffic and attracting foreign audiences.
In 2018, Jean was invited by María Barracuda (Mexican artist & singer) and his colleague Fer Van Vazquez, to produce a documentary in Guadalajara on finding new artistic talents in people from rural areas and homeless shelters across Mexico. While parts of the documentary were shot and produced, the documentary was never completed.
Jean's artistic career started in music. In 2009 he studied an Undergraduate's Degree at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música in Mexico City as a classical guitar performer. While living in Houston in 2012, Jean got accepted at Berklee College of Music (Boston) as an Undergraduate in electric guitar performance. Although his enrollment was accepted he never attended, as tuition fees were too expensive to cover.
Instead, in 2014 Jean sold all his musical gear and instead pursued a career in social media as a travel photographer, which led him to start @Explorer, his Instagram account, where he travels and produces content for tourism boards all around the world.
In 2019, Jean's work and photography were well received in the local and international media. He participated in multiple photography contests for NatGeo, DJI, Sony, and many brands that have used his content. In 2020, Jean's work was featured at KPRC Local 2 News Houston for his travel & nature photographs in the United States.
His career in the travel industry would eventually lead him to working alongside local and international tourism boards.
Today, Jean dedicates his time to giving lectures on social media use, the responsibilities of being a travel influencer in the online space, and shooting content around the world for clients.
Throughout his Instagram and social media channels, Jean has also used his audience to bring awareness on disaster relief. He has published content to encourage people to raise consciousness on major earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcano eruptions, and deforestation around the world.
In an effort to decrease footprint and raise awareness on efficient travels, Jean has also started multiple campaigns on plastic pollution and combating single plastic use, while working with eco-friendly hotels on building sustainable businesses.
His personal favorite is dedicating his time to help dogs. He has worked with dozens of non-profits, charities, rescue centers, animal hospitals, adoption events, and organizations aiding stray and abandoned dogs across the world. His work isn't limited to dogs, as he spends time raising awareness on endangered species all around the globe. He has helped develop awareness towards dogs alongside his brother, international photographer Pako Makareno, who pioneered in Mexico as a pet photographer creating consciousness on the strong bonds between dogs and their families.
Jean's artistic career runs deep in the family. His 8th-great-grandfather, French composer, Jean-Joseph Mouret, a baroque representative to the renaissance era, was a musician and leading figure at King Louis XIV of France's personal Court.
