Today we have the pleasure to present to you Sara Feiz, our sommelier who is our special guest! She will host the wine tour, and give us some tips and tricks about wine tasting!

She is a Canadian originally from Iran and a resident of Paris since 2012. Sara started her food and wine studies at Cordon Bleu in 2015 and her passion has never faded. Sara devoted herself to wine since 2017 working in many aspects of the wine world: trading, tasting, judging and wine education. She holds an engineering degree from university of Toronto, an MBA from HEC Paris and received her WSET diploma in 2020. Before wine she held positions in the financial markets and asset management industries in Canada and France. Outside wine, Sara indulges herself in cooking, spending time with her young daughter, running or reading...

Stay tuned, we will soon give you more details about the Wine tour and the Travel from Festival!!

Next destination: Italy! 🇮🇹

Come to discover , in the Abruzzo Region. This winery with a 63 year-history stands out for its wine tower, the only one in Italy still operational and with a beautiful tasting room. You can enjoy its wines sitting down on the beach, only seven km away. 🌅🍷 Seeing is believing!

Let's discover the Château de Flaugergues and the good wine of Languedoc! Between tradition and modernity, the domain of Montpellier reflects the beauty of the wines of the south of France! ☀️🍷
The visit of this jewel of French history and savoir-faire will take place on March 20th!

Good morning! Today it's time to talk about numbers. 📊

In 2020 " the collapse in international travel represents an estimated loss of USD 1.3 trillion in export revenues - more than 11 times the loss recorded during the 2009 global economic crisis. The crisis has put between 100 and 120 million direct tourism jobs at risk, many of them in small and medium-sized enterprises. "

This situation is far from being solved: the distribution of vaccines proceed slowly and most of the countries in the world keep mantaining travel restrictions in order to limit the virus diffusion the more is possible.

That's why we choose to join the Travel From Home project: give visibility to tourism workers is one of the ways to help them to start again! ✈️

📄 For more detailed informations, here is a very interesting article published by World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) on their website.

2020: Worst Year in Tourism History with 1 Billion Fewer International Arrivals Global tourism suffered its worst year on record in 2020, with international arrivals dropping by 74% according to the latest data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

Good evening everybody!

Here is the entire SoFar team! Stay tuned, we will soon reveal unpublished informations about our March Festival.
See you soon 😍📸

Hey hey!:) I'm Alexey and today is my turn to introduce myself.
I love travelling and tend to believe that it is a way not only to discover other cultures but also to learn a lot about ourselves. No matter where my destination was, I was always meeting great people and finding some fun adventures.
Therefore, I'm grateful for the opportunity, we have, to make our online tours. I think we will make travelling a little more accessible again

Hey guys!
I have the honour to be a part of the Sofar’s team, so here my presentation! 💥

I am Irina and I am a tireless explorer so no matter the country, the culture or the language, I will always be hungry of knowledge about that! 🗺
I have joined the project to have a new experience and to help people to discover the world’s beauties in a “easier” way during this period of closed frontiers. 💫
I am the responsible of our LinkedIn profile and of the partnership relations, so if you want to know more about our partners (like for example the charity organization) I am here at your disposal! 🙆

It's my turn to introduce myself!

I am Domitille, student and compulsive traveler. Times are hard for many people in this time of pandemic and I am one of those who dreams of being able to travel again. However, it is urgent to reflect on our conception of travel because everything will be transformed in the aftermath of the pandemic.
Virtual travel is an option available to us today.

I joined the Sofar team to manage the partnership relations and content creation! With us you won't be disappointed with the trip!

Open your screen and join us in our adventure!

With love
