Not too long ago, the idea of paying someone to coach you through life’s messy, complex decisions would have been met with laughter.
But then, the world shifted.
Life coaching exploded into a $4 billion industry, with projections soaring toward $6 billion by 2031.
We saw the same happen with executive leadership coaching, now a powerhouse industry valued at over $100 billion.
Health and fitness coaching followed suit… thriving, multi-million dollar sectors that no longer require an introduction or a defense.
Why?
Because humanity finally realized that having an expert guide by your side changes everything.
Before these industries hit the mainstream, we accepted struggle as our baseline.
We normalized stress, career stagnation, and feeling “stuck.”
Coaching didn’t just give us advice; it gave us a framework to take radical ownership of our lives.
Now, I see the same exact pattern emerging in the travel industry.

The Hidden Problem With Modern Travel
We are currently conditioned to accept overwhelm, overspending, and “cookie-cutter” experiences.
How many times have you returned from a trip feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation?
Or worse… you land back home only to sink right back into the same stifling routine and mindset you were trying to escape in the first place?
We are drowning in travel information, booking platforms, and endless options.
We don’t need more data.
What we need is clarity, strategy, and a trusted guide.
People are ready to stop just “taking a trip” and start using travel as a sacred tool to feel how they want to feel and to reach the goals they’ve set for this season of their life.
This is where travel coaches come in.
Why Travel Coaching Is Here to Stay
Every major coaching industry began with a bold, simple premise: “People need this, even if they don’t know it yet.”
That is exactly where travel coaching is today.
Right now, travelers are paying a premium to feel the same (or worse), than they did before they booked.
They are missing out on profound experiences simply because they don’t know they exist, and they are spending hours paralyzed by options.
A travel coach changes the entire trajectory of the experience.
They aren’t just booking your flights or managing your itinerary.
They are your strategic partner, your emotional support system, and your guide to intentional living.
They help you align your journey with your “why,” your deepest aspirations, and your authentic self.
Building the Future with The Travel Coach Network
I founded The Travel Coach Network (TCN) over six years ago because I saw a massive gap in the industry.
I knew the future of travel planning wasn’t another app, a better algorithm, or an AI agent.
“The future of travel is human.“
– Sahara Rose DeVore
The future is a person who understands the transformative power travel has on our well-being.
A person who can feel the emotions, ask the deeper questions, and take someone on a journey rather than just a trip.
Today, our global community has grown to over 770 travel coaches across 41 countries.
We are seeing a beautiful convergence: life, health, wellness, and leadership coaching are blending with travel to create truly holistic transformations!
