Sahara Rose De Vore
Founder & CEO, The Travel Coach Network
Sahara Rose De Vore is the Founder and CEO of The Travel Coach Network and a pioneering voice in transformative and wellness-focused travel. Her work centers on bringing a human-centered, emotional lens to the way people experience travel—shifting the conversation from where we go to why we go, and how travel can support personal growth, well-being, and meaningful connection.
After traveling solo to 84 countries, Sahara identified a gap in the industry for guidance rooted in purpose, mindset, and emotional experience. This insight led her to create the world’s first ICF-accredited certification program for travel coaches. Today, The Travel Coach Network includes more than 750 certified coaches across 40+ countries, helping individuals and organizations rethink travel as a catalyst for transformation.
A published author, TEDx speaker, and sought-after global speaker, Sahara’s insights have been featured in more than 300 media outlets, including Condé Nast Traveler, AFAR, Travel Weekly, Tripadvisor, CNBC, CNN Travel, and Forbes. She serves on the Advisory Board of The Hotel Guide, was named one of TravelPulse’s Most Influential Women in Travel, and continues to shape the future of travel through education, mentorship, and thought leadership.
