The Travel Coach Network is empowering and guiding the next wave of leaders, change-makers, and travel experts in the travel industry by pioneering the Travel Coaching industry.
We are a place that adds meaning and purpose to travel experiences by recognizing that there is far more to providing a transformative experience than just the cold hard facts of an itinerary.
The Travel Coach Network (TCN) was founded by Sahara Rose De Vore, a solo backpacking globetrotter, who wanted to connect travelers with travel experts who could best relate to their needs and travel goals while reshaping how travel was valued and viewed to better our life and wellbeing.
Travel Coaching is about getting to the root of WHY someone wants to travel and what their motivating factors for wanting to travel are, and then helping them set intentions for their trip so that they can have the transformative experience that they are in need of. Travel Coaches don’t focus on the trip booking phase, instead, they focus on goal-setting, desired outcomes and feelings, empowerment, confidence-building, mindset, and intention-setting.
Travel is personal and every time that we travel, we have a different persona.
Travel Coaches focus in a wide range of niches and areas of expertise, making it easy for travelers to find their ideal travel coach who suits their needs best.
Our Travel Coaches are quite diverse since every expert knows and loves something so differently about travel and has specific skills, backgrounds, and expertise of their own. Our Travel Coaches are also in fields including Travel Agents, Travel Advisors, Medical Professionals, Life Coaches, Transformation Coaches, Spiritual Coaches, Retreat Leaders, Corporate Leaders, HR, and many others.
The TCN is the largest database of Travel Coaches for travelers, companies, and organizations to search for and hire travel coaches for themselves, their employees, and anyone else seeking a Travel Coach.
The TCN also is home to the Travel Coach Certification Program™, the world’s first and only ICF accredited certification program for travel coaches around the world.

Hi! I’m Sahara Rose
After receiving my degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management in 2010, I was underwhelmed by the lack of careers options that existed in the industry so, I bought a one-way ticket to Europe, packed a backpack, and began traveling around the globe.
I spent the next 10 years visiting over 84 countries across 6 continents solo. Throughout my worldly journey, I learned the true reasons why people traveled and realized the value that travel had on our wellbeing, personal life, and work-life.
Traveling was healing for myself as I had always struggled with anxiety. After years of diving into research on the various wellness benefits of travel, I wondered why companies were not valuing travel like people did and why travel and hospitality brands weren’t tapping into the deeper reasons for why people traveled.
In 2018, I started my Wellness Travel Coaching and Consulting business to educate, support, and help companies embrace the value that all aspects of travel can have on employee wellbeing, business travel wellbeing, and wellness travel experiences in a more holistic way.
I then Founded The Travel Coach Network to bridge the gap between the travelers who were seeking specific answers when it came to traveling and the travel experts who could best relate to them.
I always believed that there was far more to travel career than just booking trips or writing about travel. The concept of Travel Coaching came about because travel should be viewed as a tool to help people thrive in their wellbeing, personal life, relationships, professionally, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and more. The #ThriveThroughTravel initiative stems from this belief.
I created The Travel Coach Certification Program to train and guide other travel experts to add depth and authenticity to how they plan trips and how they use their expertise in travel. I am a published author of my travel and mindset book “Hey You, Just Go!” and a global speaker for events like the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), ProcureCon, TripActions, and more.
I have been seen in over 100+ media outlets for my expertise in travel, business, and wellness including Forbes, Travel Weekly, The Washington Post, Skift, Hospitality Net, USA Today, Ticker News, Business Insider, Yahoo!, Fodor’s, TripAdvisor, and Corporate Wellness Magazine. I am also a TEDx speaker in October 2022.
