Your Bridge to the Roof of the World:
Meet Your Lead Guides
The "Lore Chasing" Advantage: Beyond the Script
We built PAZ to be the bridge we wished we had when we first stepped onto the Roof of the World. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand that for an American traveler, a trip to Tibet isn’t just a vacation—it’s a transformation. Our mission is to protect that transformation by absorbing every logistical friction, ensuring you are never just a number, but part of a family journey.
About PAZ
We are not gurus or distant teachers—we are guides on a shared path. PAZ was created from a deep exploration of both the inner world and real-life human experience. From sacred spaces in the Himalayas to communities navigating everyday challenges, our work is rooted in direct experience, connection, and understanding. We design experiences that bring together reflection, cultural immersion, and meaningful human connection—creating space not only to explore the world, but also to reconnect with yourself. Our approach is simple, yet profound: to help you move beyond ideas and into real experience—where awareness becomes action, and growth becomes part of how you live.
A Shared Vision
A Shared Vision Together, they bring two essential elements into every journey: A deep exploration of the inner world A genuine commitment to human connection and impact This balance is what defines PAZ. Each journey is designed not only to explore a place, but to experience it with awareness, respect, and purpose—creating something that stays with you long after you return.

The Founders:
Xareni
Xareni Mendoza’s work is deeply rooted in service and human connection. With a background in education and family therapy, she has dedicated years to supporting communities through initiatives that promote dignity, autonomy, and sustainable well-being. Her approach is grounded in a simple yet powerful belief: meaningful change begins with what is essential—education, nourishment, and genuine human connection. Through her experience working closely with communities, she brings a unique depth to the journeys created through PAZ—ensuring that each experience goes beyond travel and becomes an opportunity to connect, contribute, and grow. She believes that when we come together with awareness and intention, we can create a more compassionate and hopeful world.
Wimmer
Wimmer Mendicoa’s work is rooted in years of direct experience exploring personal growth across Europe, Tibet, Nepal, and India. His journey began as a personal search—one that, over time, evolved into something he now shares with others. Through his travels, he discovered that the most profound lessons are not found in theory, but in lived experience—through cultures, people, and moments that shift perspective. Those experiences became the foundation for the journeys he now creates: immersive, intentional, and designed to offer something deeper than traditional travel. Today, he guides others through experiences that bring together cultural immersion, personal reflection, and meaningful connection. His philosophy is simple: transformation is not something you learn, but something you live.
