Discover the Magic of Open Ocean:

An Inspiring Journey

"The sea is open to everyone. Whether you do it standing up or lying down, with or without a board. It doesn't matter. It's just about you finding your fulfillment in it."

Open Ocean is more than just a movie about surfing; it's an inspiring journey that shows how people with different challenges overcome barriers to pursue their passion. The 46-minute documentary by Philippe Opigez and Rico Stein portrays five surfers, with and without disabilities, experiencing the magic of the ocean through their unique perspectives and challenges.

To find out more about the German NGO Open Ocean e.V., visit their website or their Instagram channel @openoceanverein. Want to watch the full movie? Check out all upcoming screening dates here.

Meet Mark Wagner:

A Passionate Advocate for Accessibility and Adventure

While Mark Wagner is not a part of Sage Traveling, we are thrilled to highlight his incredible contributions through our sister company, ATS. His dedication and passion align perfectly with our mission of making travel accessible to everyone. Here is a message from Mark:

Hi there, I'm Mark Wagner and I have proudly been a part of ATS for the past 3 months. After seven years of traveling the world, I’ve finally found my home in beautiful Portugal. I'm passionate about surfing and outdoor activities and spend as much time as I can in nature with my gorgeous girlfriend and my loyal dog by my side.

Volunteering for the non-profit organization Open Ocean is one of my most fulfilling activities. We provide barrier-free activities and inclusive projects related to surfing and create a protected meeting space both in the water and on land, living diversity and inclusion. I believe in dedicating my time to things that truly matter and bring meaning to my life.

My travels have given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and experiences, and I'm excited to continue making a positive impact both locally and globally. Professionally, I bring this same passion and dedication to my work and always strive for meaningful contributions. Working for ATS, with its commitment to accessible travel and environmental sustainability, resonates deeply with my values and inspires me to contribute to their mission of setting industry standards for responsible travel.

Rome PSA:

Plan Ahead for the 2025 Catholic Jubilee

Our guide in Rome has provided essential information about the upcoming Catholic Jubilee in 2025. This event, celebrated every 25 years, will draw millions of pilgrims and tourists to the city. We strongly recommend booking early to secure your trip to Rome.

During the Jubilee, pilgrims travel to Rome to pass through the Holy Doors of the four major basilicas—St. Peter’s Basilica, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Santa Maria Maggiore. This act symbolizes a step into a new era of grace and forgiveness.

With Rome expecting an extraordinary number of visitors, it's crucial to plan ahead. We can already book hotels and tours for the first 4-5 months of 2025. Don’t miss out on this unique spiritual and cultural celebration. Book now and prepare for an unforgettable experience.
