Discover Life's Possibilities with Rica
Hi! I’m Rica.
Rica is a globe-trotting life coach-in-training, specializing in helping independent minority women travelers (aka…aunties) use travel hacking to explore the world on a budget. With a full-time gig as a Marketing Manager for a telecoms company, Rica juggles her professional career with her passion for travel, having visited 27 countries across 5 continents. She also stays balanced as a part-time Barre Instructor at One Body Fitness Studio in Downtown Colorado Springs, ensuring wellness is a constant in her dynamic life.
After the loss of her mother & best friend in 2014, Rica committed to seeing the world through fresh eyes, traveling to a new destination each year to live life to its fullest—just as her mother would have wanted. Her transformative journey to Bali in 2016 with Travel Noire Experiences, radically shifted her perspective on global travel for Black people. By 2018, Rica had embraced travel hacking, a strategy that enabled her to check off the last four Wonders of the World in 2022, spending less than $3,000 on what could have easily been a $15,000 adventure!
In addition to her travel exploits, Rica is currently honing her skills as a YNAB Budget Certified Coach and a Travel Coach, with the ultimate goal of becoming a life coach focused on empowering minority aunties to achieve financial freedom and enrich their lives through transformative travel experiences.
Rica is on a mission to empower minority aunties to dig deeper, travel with intention, and make world exploration an affordable reality. Join her as she guides you through the realms of budget-savvy and meaningful travel, showing you that incredible journeys are not just dreams, but are well within your reach.
BARRE FITNESS
Since 2020, I have been a dedicated Barre instructor, passionately guiding clients through this dynamic workout that combines ballet, pilates, and yoga. Barre focuses on isometric strength training mixed with high reps of small-range movements, ensuring a full-body workout that enhances flexibility, improves balance, and builds core strength. My classes are designed to empower participants of all fitness levels to push their limits gently and achieve their personal health and fitness goals.
