Travel has always been more than a passion for me. It’s a way of life. From wandering through bustling markets to sharing stories with locals in remote villages, each journey has deepened my appreciation for the diverse tapestry of humanity. These experiences have taught me that, despite our differences, we are all connected by a shared sense of curiosity and wonder. As a longtime member of the Couchsurfing community, I’ve had the privilege of forging genuine connections with people from all walks of life. These encounters have reinforced my belief in the power of kindness, openness, and cultural exchange. Founding Globe Escapades is the realization of a lifelong dream; to create a travel agency that embodies the values of peace, love, and harmony. Our mission is to offer immersive experiences that not only showcase the beauty of our world but also foster meaningful connections and personal growth.
Himalayas Manager
Nikesh SHRESTHA
Born in a small village along the iconic Everest route, I grew up immersed in the world of travelers, as my family ran a guest house that welcomed adventurers from all corners of the globe. From a young age, I began helping as a porter on the trek to Namche (3440m), and it was during these journeys that I discovered my true passion, connecting with people and sharing the wonders of the Himalayas. With Globe Escapades, I’m thrilled to offer you personalized experiences that showcase the magic of this incredible region, from scenic hiking circuits and cultural heritage tours to thrilling high-altitude expeditions, yoga retreats, cycling, climbing, and rafting. The Himalayas hold something for every adventurer, no matter your skill level. Let me guide you on an unforgettable journey through this breathtaking landscape!
Wellness & Mindfulness Leader
Irene Nerys
As a lifelong traveler and yoga enthusiast, I’ve always believed that true adventure is as much about inner discovery as it is about exploring new horizons. With every journey, I’ve found that the most unforgettable moments happen when we slow down, breathe deeply, and truly connect with nature, with others, and with ourselves. As a dancer, choreographer, and performer, I’ve learned the power of movement and expression, which I now weave into my travels, bringing a deeper sense of mindfulness and well-being. That’s the spirit I’ll be bringing to our adventures with Globe Escapades, infusing each experience with yoga, creativity, and moments for personal reflection. Whether it’s a sunrise stretch in the desert or a quiet moment of stillness in the mountains, my goal is to create space for balance, joy, and connection. Let’s travel with intention and embrace the beauty of the present moment together!
