Ep 92 - Imagine immigrating to the US as a child, becoming a public health servant, and landing in Puerto Rico during a Zika outbreak. For eldest daughter and first gen Latina Bianca Alba, that's simply been her life thus far.
As the host of This Latina Travels, Bianca inspires all of us to voyage beyond our comfort zone and explore the rest of this huge world. Settling in Puerto Rico was intentional because she finally found "home."
While la Isla del Encanto has many, many challenges—and has even impacted Bianca's decision to remain childfree—the beauty of its culture is unchallenged. Listen as Bianca takes us through how she ended up in PR, what keeps here there, the unspoken expectations to have it all figured out, her new life pivot, and how her childfree wedding planning is going.
