Meet the Founder
A city girl with Dominican roots. Providence, Rhode Island, may have been her upbringing, but it's within the vibrant communities she explores and the connections she forms that she truly finds her sense of belonging. For Sixcia, travel isn't about checking destinations off a list; it's about forging connections, embracing the unfamiliar, and discovering the world (and herself) through a kaleidoscope of experiences.
This passion for meaningful travel fueled the creation of Take A Trip, Change A Life. The program empowers YOU to become an active participant in something grander, to leave a positive mark on the world, and embark on a transformative journey that will ripple outwards, changing both your life and the lives of others.

Take a Trip Change a Life began with one trip that changed a life forever.
In 2010, Sixcia traveled to the Dominican Republic, her ancestral homeland, with her mother and 4-year old son. It was Christmas time, so they brought some gifts for the local children. Witnessing her young son's random act of kindness - offering a teddy bear to a Domincan boy - triggered a life-changing shift within her. Through the beautiful smile on the face of the little boy, the stark contrast between her materially abundant yet spiritually empty life was exposed.
As she absorbed this scene of generosity and genuine connection, she realized this wasn't just a sightseeing trip. The seeds were being planted for a new path. One that would lead Sixcia toward a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Shortly after this trip, she launched the nonprofit organization, Caritas Smile, to support the women and children of the Dominican Republic. She started offering trips there so others could experience the transformative power of service and since then, has witnessed thousands of lives transformed through the power of kindness and generosity.
