Founder’s Journey

 

Rabeb - Founder of Safar

Photo of a personRabeb is a technologist, product manager, and an internationally recognized speaker with over a decade of experience in software engineering. Her career has taken her across borders, but it’s her curiosity about the world; and the people in it; that truly defines her journey.
When she’s not building tech, Rabeb is likely somewhere off the beaten path sipping coffee with strangers on a side road in Cappadocia, climbing mountains, or chasing the finish line at her next marathon. Travel isn’t just a hobby for her, it’s a way of seeing, feeling, and understanding the world.
Her experiences on the road have shaped who she is. The kindness of strangers, shared meals, and unexpected conversations have filled her with gratitude and deepened her empathy. These encounters remind her of what truly matters: connection, generosity, and the joy of discovery.

As a child, Rabeb would skip siestas to play with her desk globe, memorizing the names of every capital city she could find. She didn’t know then that this early fascination would spark a lifelong passion to visit those places, to learn from their people, and to bring their stories home.

Today, Rabeb hosts dinner parties inspired by her travels, cooking dishes from her latest destinations and filling the room with stories, laughter, and a shared sense of adventure.

Through Safar, she hopes to share more than just destinations. She aspires to inspire, to awaken your own love for exploration, help you find your next adventure, and build a community rooted in curiosity, kindness, and meaningful travel. Whether you're just beginning your journey or already a seasoned traveler, Safar is here to connect you with places, people, and experiences that leave a lasting imprint.
