What if travel could be more than an escape, a vacation, or another destination checked off the list?
In this episode of Travel Talk, Edward R. Leos sits down with Sahara Rose De Vore, founder of the Travel Coach Network (TCN), for a conversation about the deeper power of travel, the evolution of travel coaching, and why she believes the industry has an opportunity to think differently about the way we help people experience the world.
Sahara shares the story behind the creation of the Travel Coach Network and the gap she saw in the traditional travel industry. Rather than focusing solely on where someone should go, travel coaching starts with a different question: Why do you want to travel in the first place?
That distinction opens up an entirely different conversation.
Edward and Sahara explore how travel can influence personal growth, relationships, confidence, well-being, career decisions, and the way people see both themselves and the world around them. Travel isn't simply about the destination. Sometimes the most important part of the journey is who you become because you took it.
They also look at the business behind the movement.
Sahara discusses how TCN has evolved, what she has learned while building a community of travel coaches, and her vision for expanding the network and bringing greater awareness and credibility to travel coaching within the broader travel and hospitality industries.
In this conversation:
- Why Sahara created the Travel Coach Network
- What travel coaching actually is—and how it differs from traditional travel planning
- The growing role of purpose and intentionality in travel
- How travel can become a catalyst for personal transformation
- Building and growing a community around a new category
- What's next for TCN and the travel coaching movement
- Opportunities for travel coaches, advisors, hotels, destinations, and hospitality brands
- Why the emotional impact of travel may matter just as much as the itinerary itself
At its core, this episode is about something bigger than travel coaching.
It's about the power of travel.
The places we visit matter. But so do the conversations we have, the people we meet, the perspectives we gain, and sometimes the decisions we make when we return home.
For anyone working in travel, hospitality, coaching, wellness, entrepreneurship, or simply looking for more meaning from the way they experience the world, this is a conversation worth hearing.
