About us

Hello! We are Lorena and Anna, two explorers who love living and travelling upwind! Why upwind? Because as soon as the weather is good we jump on our Vespa, free and following the rhythm of the wind, we set off on new adventures to discover villages, landscapes, itineraries, cities, stories and encounters to tell and share. Even when our faithful squire is at rest 😊we continue our road trip around Italy, favouring contact with nature and giving space to lesser-known places.

In life, as in travel, we choose to live authentically what we are and what makes us feel good!

Esplorando Controvento is a blog for people like us who love to travel on the road and slowly enjoy the essence of places...

Vespa tours to discover villages and landscapes, motorbike journeys off the beaten paths, road trips and original weekends in Tuscany, Italy and Europe..

For those who want to save money but don’t give up authentic experiences, appreciate street food and local handicrafts, love to stay in the middle of nature, in farmhouses, agricampsites and/or typical accommodations.

With Esplorando Controvento we publish content about only lived experiences and places visited personally.
