What the Road Has to Teach: Alone with My Bike and Backpack: A Five-Month Journey Through South America

Five months. One motorcycle. One backpack. One dream. In What the Road Has to Teach, Rodrigo Schmiegelow sets off alone across South America and discovers that the journey goes far beyond the miles traveled. Between breathtaking landscapes, unexpected falls, forgotten villages on the map, and unforgettable sunsets, what emerges is a deep dive into himself. More than just travel stories, the book blends adventure, reflection, and encounters with ordinary people who became extraordinary along the way. Each snack tasted, each culture discovered, and each farewell help answer a universal question: what does it mean to truly live - and not just survive? A sincere and inspiring narrative about freedom, letting go, vulnerability, and lightness. An invitation to reflect on dreams, choices, and the fortune of simply being in motion.
