Travel Sober

Bob Kocher

Bob developed a love for travel before age 10, accompanying his grandfather on long train trips.  He got Sober in 1988 and took his business background and love for travel to create In This Life Custom Getaways.  By the fall of 1988, sailing experiences, house boating trips started connecting people on group journeys.

Bob’s friend and mentor, Dr. Earle Marsh “Physician Heal Thyself” in the AA Big Book helped create the idea for “Conferences at Sea” and was the first speaker on the cruise programs.  Because of his kindness and treasure trove of experience the structure and style of our group programing and speakers we choose remains the same.  Bob and staff has now planned, produced and escorted more than 250 group travel experiences. 

TravelSober takes pride in providing travel experiences to all recovering people while inviting all to make quality lifetime connections, we all search for. We look forward to welcoming you to the TravelSober travel family.

Kathleen Liszewski

Having traveled extensively during a successful career in Technology, Kathleen brings Leadership, Client Success, Supply Chain Operations, and global travel experiences to In This Life; Before business trips, I looked at my destinations and where I might find local meetings. Many were not found on-line, but through connection and relationships. One obscure AA meeting in Shanghai China was introduced to me by a friend from Oakland, CA!  I love bringing people together, sharing cultures, experiences, and the joy of passing it on, “you never have to do this alone.”
