Why is San Miguel De Allende called the Heart of Mexico? You'll just have to listen to find out. Travel, food and culture writer Katy Spratte Joyce shares her tips on San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
When planning a travel to San Miguel De Allende consider finding a cooking classes with a local chef. You will start in a market and turn your purchases into local cuisine. Katy always recommends exploring a local culture through your stomach. I agree. Feed me all of the food (and margaritas).
Walk of your meal by exploring the white wall mural project. Find a guide to help you navigate as the project is ongoing and murals will change. They will be able to provide you with the connection or significance the art plays to San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
Katy''s third tip is to explore the iconic city cathedral. My own request is to make sure you tour respectfully and not snap photography while mass is in session.
Not ready to leave the San Miguel De Allende yet? Plan a day trip through the local wine region (forth coming episode with Korrine Johnson on this). It's about an hour drive and provides an excellent way to bookend your trip with culinary delights.

Exploring Cork Forests in Mexico Format: Check out the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/86Ud2aFrEB8 M:Where can people find you online? L: Probably the place I am most active is my Instagram: @explorewithlor ! M: Where are we going today? L: Two hours west of the Cancun airport to a tiny town no one has heard of which has an amazing cork forest. M: Can you paint a mental picture or "a moment in time" floating through a cork forest? L: It’s magical, mystical, and peaceful. It feels like you are in a fairytale M: This blows my mind. I didn't realize there were cork forests in Mexico. I've seen some footage of getting to the cork forest and getting to the tour. It looked pretty bumpy and they advised against anyone with back problems or who is pregnant to avoid this tour. When you visited what was this like for you? L: Yes you are on an ATV type of vehicle and you go pretty deep into the jungle. This part of Mexico is pretty flat, no mountains or anything like that so it’s not crazy wild but there are some bumps in the road M: It looks like there are walking and kayaking options available. Can you tell us a little more about why you might choose one or the other? L: it’s not a choice-depends on the time of year and water level! M: Now can you describe what it's like to be floating through a cork forest? L: Pretty similar answer to the question above but it’s like you are in a fairytale and nothing else exists. M: Did you come across any wildlife? L: We saw some very cool birds including toucans but that was it. however we saw jaguar and puma prints… M: Was the tour in English? L: It was! Our tour had 2 others on it, and we had 2 guides-one Spanish speaking and one English speaking. They are uncle and nephew and own the property that the cork forest is located on M:It looks like the cork forest is pretty remote - was there a meal provided? L: Its totally remote. They brought us sandwiches, snacks and Jamaica water. We also brought our own snacks and water. M: Talk bugs to me. What crawled, flew and otherwise attempted to feed on you? L: Getting to the cork forest there were some mosquitoes but once we were in there-it was insectless - something about the symbiotic relationships that go on in there, we saw a lot of dragonflies which eat the mosquitoes and nothing else bothered us! M: How accessible is this from the resort regions of the eastern coast of Mexico? L: 2 hours from Cancun, 1.5 hours from playa-pretty easy to get to! M: What are we missing? Is there anything else you would like to include about the cork forests of Solferino, Quintana Roo? L: This place is unique and basically untouched by tourism. NO ONE knows about it. not even people who live in the Riviera maya. it’s not offered through any tour operator or DMC that I have ever seen. M: Lastly, can other travel professionals contact you about this and are you taking new clients for travelers that might be listening? L: Yes agents can feel free to get in touch about this, and yes I am taking new clients-especially ones that want to get off the beaten path and explore! M: How do you prefer people contact you? L: Email is best! M: Lori, thank you for being my guest again! L: It's been super totes amaze as I expected 😂 M: Thank you for listening everyone! Bye! L: Bye!!!!

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 - 39min - 165 - What Is Travel Coaching with Sahara Rose DeVore
M: Sahara Rose Devore, welcome to the podcast. Would you please take a minute to introduce yourself?
S: I am Sahara Rose, a Wellness Travel Coach and Consultant and the Founder of The Travel Coach Network. I created and run the world's only ICF accredited certification program for international travel coaches and as a travel coach myself, I focus on the wellness benefits of travel for corporate wellness and business travel.
M: Where can people find you online?
S: Instagram and facebook at Sahara Rose The Travel Coach and The Travel Coach Network. Also, TheTravelCoachNetwork.com
M: I expect the concept of travel coaching is new to many listeners. There are many travel professionals and agents that listen to this podcast. Travel coaching may be something that is of interest to them. Do you have any travel planners in your coaching program right now?
S: Yes, there are travel experts of all sorts in my program and the TCN. This ranges from travel agents, tour operators, bloggers, retreat owners, life and transformation coaches, travel marketers, and even doctors! And of course, travel coaches too.
M: How is travel coaching different to travel planning?
S: Travel coaching is a broad concept. There is no one thing that travel coaches focus on across the entire board. What a travel coach helps with or does completely depends upon that person. When it comes to travel, there are endless ways to use your knowledge, love, and expertise in travel to make and impact in either the lives of others, the corporate space, or the world. Travel coaches use their specific talents and interests to help their ideal audience in their own authentic way. They are not limited to just planning and booking. Travel coaches also go the depth to providing actual transformative experiences depending on what their ideal client wants and needs.
M: How can adding a Travel Coaching certification to a person's skillset compliment what they officially offer their clients?
S: The Travel Coach Certification adds that deeper layer of connecting to and understanding clients on a more personal level. It's more than knowing what kind of food that they like to eat most or where they like 3 or 5 star hotels. Travel coach training gives a well-rounded approach to coaching integrating what you know and love most about travel as the expert. It is also a way to stand out in a very competitive market and the program teaches experts how to become leaders in the future of travel and travel trends.
M: For travelers listening what can they gain by working with a travel coach?
S: Since every travel coach is different, the outcomes or results when working with a travel coach varies. This can be anything from mom's want to learn how to travel better and more effectively with their children to reshaping the business travel world to helping people with a specific disability have the experiences that they always wanted. Consumers seek travel coaches who they best relate to or who have had transformations that they want.
M: What does training look like?
S: The Travel Coach Certification Program is a 9 module program that follows ICF's core competencies and guidelines. It is prerecorded videos and written copy (because everyone learns differently!) Members have lifetime access to the program. There are two monthly live trainings available to replay if they can't attend. Those hours go towards their hours of completion. In addition to coaching it's training on building and scaling a travel business. I teach industry insights, marketing, niching, scaling, revenue streams, mindset, media, and more.
M: How long does it typically take?
S: The modules are dripped out over 3 months but the members can go at their own pace and have lifetime access. There is no start and end date.
M: If someone didn't want to become a travel coach how can travel professionals and travel coaches work together? Do you have some sort of pairing service?
S: Every travel expert uses some aspect of travel coaching into their services. But, for those who do not want the training or to be a travel coach, there is always room for any type of travel expert to work together such as referrals. I don't do pairing within my network but i do have a platform where experts can list their businesses and a community where everyone networks and collaborates.
M: What am I missing? This is your time to share anything we didn't cover. Go ahead and freestyle share!
S: For those who want to learn from me but don't want to join the Travel Coach Certification Program, you can always join the TCN Membership Club or my Elite Female Travel Entrepreneur Insider's Circle. I really encourage travel experts to think outside of the box and get to preparing now for the surge in travel that is to come. If you want to stand out and make a true difference in the industry and in a career that you love so much, consider joining the TCN and connecting with me to learn how.

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 - 26min - 164 - Ghana, Africa | 23 Reasons To Plan A Heritage Tour | Priscilla Holmes
Journey to Ghana Cultural and Historic Tour Priscilla, https://cillatravel.com, was always interested in her family genealogy. At family events she could be found drilling the oldest family members on the who is who of her family. The stream of information dried up with her great-great-grandmother, Easter Roberts. As an elementary schooler, Priscilla learned Easter Roberts was born a slave. Records place her as a 7 year old girl and was then separated from her family. Tragically, the paper trail history stops there. Likely, she was from another plantation in the area. Easter could remember a white lady bringing her to the plantation where she lived until she was emancipated. The clear trail stops there. Ultimately she wanted to trace her lineage back to Africa. When the paper history ended Priscilla picked up with DNA tracing. She started with a general DNA test (23andMe) to find relatives in the the US. That test also had some generalized regions tracing her lineage to Africa. Those results were still very broad. This test started the germination of an idea idea to discover, face to face, the world of her ancestors in West Africa. A second DNA test for African ancestry, narrowed her heritage to Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. She decided to start her exploration of Africa in Ghana because of the 2019 Year of Return event. This event is where President Ado (Ghana) invited African Americans to come to visit. Yet a third DNA test finally allowed her to narrow the results of the first two tests. Priscilla Holmes was finally able to trace her DNA straight to the tribe of her maternal lineage. Now, she is dreaming of tourism reopening and taking a group of like-minded travelers with her. Maybe you match her lineage? Maybe you should consider planning a heritage tour to Ghana.
