Who I am, and why Brazil
I’m Rodrigo, born in Argentina, and I’ve been traveling the world for over 25 years.
After settling in Spain and discovering kitesurfing, everything changed. Every trip became not just an opportunity to explore new places, people, and cultures, but also a chance to enjoy this amazing sport in different parts of the world.
Water sports became my way of life. I’m an instructor in Windsurf, Kitesurf, and Wingfoil, spending summers teaching and winters discovering the world with my kite on my back.
After so many journeys, I realized that what I enjoy most is the freedom of arriving somewhere without a strict plan, heading to the spot, meeting the locals, being there after a great session on the water, and sharing moments with people you might never have spoken to in your hometown or crossed paths with in everyday life.
With WINDINYOURBACKPACK, I want to bring you those experiences—traveling differently. To change a trip where you just mark dots on a map into one where you remember that giant turtle popping its head up while surfing in Paracurú, or that Caipirinha at sunset on the dunes of Jeri, or watching the sunset sitting by the lagoon at Ilha do Guajirú. And also to create a group where, by the end of the trip, saying goodbye is hard, and everyone wishes to spend another week together on this adventure..
