A Movement to Uplift.

We lead immersive adventures that bring hope to the world’s most underserved communities.
Our Mission

Why We Exist

Epic Adventures Global was born out of a desire to make travel more than just sightseeing. We use adventure as a catalyst for transformation in the lives of travelers and the communities they visit.

We craft intentional, all-inclusive trips that support local guides, ignite micro-economies, and build long-term opportunity in rural areas through tourism.

No handouts. No saviorism. Just authentic relationships, mutual empowerment, and unforgettable memories.

Our Founders

Meet the Founders Behind the Mission

Travis Michaels

Founder, Visionary & Movement Leader
Travis is the bold, spirited force leading Epic Adventures into some of the most meaningful corners of the world. With contagious energy and deep conviction, he casts vision, builds relationships, and invites others into a mission that’s so much bigger than travel. He believes we’re all called to live lives of impact — and he's made it his full-time pursuit to help others do the same.

Shelby Hoover

Co-Founder, Heart & Operations
Shelby is the steady heartbeat of Epic — organizing the details, managing the flow, and nurturing every experience with compassion and intentionality. With a gift for hospitality and a heart to serve, she ensures that every traveler, guide, and community partner feels cared for and seen.
Together, Travis and Shelby are answering a call they believe was placed on their lives by God — to use tourism as a vehicle to uplift others, connect cultures, and bring lasting good to the world.
