Welcome to Experience Hikes
My name is Ellen and my passion is to take people to places that I have discovered and became enthusiastic about.
I do this in addition to my regular government job.
My challenge is: putting together active and varied trips in which you learn about the culture, lifestyle and enjoy the natural beauty.
Always in collaboration with local specialists, who know the best places, let you experience couleur locale and open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
Below you will find the planned travel dates, customer experiences and more about my background as a travel organizer.
My story
For almost 20 years I have co-organized trips in Egypt and Sudan. Although this phase in my life ended, the travel organization blood crawled where it couldn't go and during a holiday on the beautiful island of Zakynthos I was inspired to shift my focus to that and started developing nature trips there. Together with a local guide with the same passion for the overwhelming nature, I have now developed and successfully carried out several hiking trips.Do you want to follow me in my wanderlust and the products that arise from it? Let me know and you will receive my updates a few times a year!
My name is Aisha, I am 23 years old and I am Ellen's daughter.
I am studying to be a travel & hospitality manager in The Netherlands. I started working with Ellen on Experience Hikes because I'm passionate about creating meaningful experiences that connect people to new cultures, places, and stories. Helping others discover the beauty and diversity of the world, while contributing to the local communities we work with.
Growing up, I saw how dedicated Ellen was to creating memorable trips for people, and it inspired me to get involved. By working together, I can bring a fresh perspective and help expand the business, while continuing the family tradition of curating unique and meaningful journeys for travelers.
