Where Passion Meets Purpose, and Travel Becomes a Profitable Business
Founded in August 2020, Riding with Rissa Travels was born from a bold dream , built on passion, perseverance, and the belief that selling experiences, not just trips, transforms lives and launches thriving businesses.
Over the years, Riding with Rissa has grown through education, certifications, conferences, and self-discipline, consistently surpassing annual sales goals. It’s a journey that proves with the right tools, mindset, and mentorship, anything is possible.
We don’t just sell travel , we curate unforgettable moments that turn clients into loyal followers.
Riding with Rissa has hosted group trips on every continent , except Antarctica, which is scheduled for February 2026. Our signature style?
Intentional group travel where strangers become family, memories become milestones, and every detail is crafted with purpose.
From the souks of Marrakech to the coastlines of Croatia, our curated experiences prove that connection and community are just as important as the destination.
I created this agency because my vision outgrew the host agencies that tried to contain it. Too many were focused on recruiting over real results, with limited space for creativity or true financial freedom.
Even worse, mentorship was missing, and too many aspiring agents were left without guidance or a real game plan. I knew there had to be something better , so I built it myself.
Surpassed my own mentors and agency directors in sales within one year of joining InteleTravel
Completed all levels of certification within the platform and was recognized among the Top 100 Agents
Earned VIP status with American Airlines Vacations for elite-level sales performance
Named a 2025 Future Travel Leaders Scholar — an all-expense paid recognition for trailblazing agents shaping the industry’s future
At Riding with Rissa Travels Host Agency, you’ll get what I never had:
Mentorship with meaning — real advice, not recycled scripts
Support and strategy to scale your business on your terms
Creative freedom to grow beyond cookie-cutter models
Access to top vendors, real commissions, and the tools to succeed , no fluff
But I don’t hand out shortcuts. This is for agents who are ready to work, grow, and build a brand they own with pride.
✅ Build a travel business that makes real money
✅ Market experiences that inspire and connect
✅ Learn how to sell to groups, upsell with confidence, and scale sustainably
✅ Stop surviving and start thriving as a travel professional
Then welcome aboard. I’ll give you the blueprint , but the empire? That’s yours to build.
