Special episode recorded on the beach in Puerto Rico

In this powerful and inspiring episode, we sit down with Bianca Alba, Founder and CEO of This Latina Travels LLC, to explore a journey rooted in service, resilience, and purpose.

Bianca shares how Puerto Rico became more than a destination; it became home. From the moment she arrived, the island and its people embraced her kindness, heart, and unwavering commitment to community. That bond was solidified in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, when Bianca took action and organizing fundraisers, collecting supplies, and personally delivering essential goods to residents who had lost their homes and livelihoods. What began as grassroots support grew into a lifelong connection with the island and its people.

During the uncertainty of COVID-19, Bianca once again leaned into creativity and connection by launching a podcast; creating a space for storytelling about travel, empowerment, and shared experiences. That platform soon evolved into something bigger: a mission-driven business dedicated to empowering others; especially women and students, through travel.

Bianca has now traveled six out of seven continents, with Antarctica next on her list, and she brings a global perspective to everything she builds. Through This Latina Travels LLC, she is expanding her impact by creating educational travel experiences in Puerto Rico, welcoming student groups to learn about culture, history, sustainability, and community engagement beyond the classroom.

Looking ahead, Bianca is also in the process of developing women’s retreats; intentional spaces designed for rest, motivation, self-growth, and transformation. These retreats aim to blend relaxation with purpose, offering women the opportunity to reconnect with themselves while being immersed in the beauty and culture of Puerto Rico.

This episode is a testament to what happens when travel meets service, community, and vision. Bianca Alba’s story reminds us that travel isn’t just about seeing the world; it’s about building bridges, uplifting communities, and creating opportunities for growth, healing, and empowerment.
