Hello, my name is Rodrigo del Castillo.
For over half a decade, I’ve been deeply passionate about Balinese history. That passion began in early 2020, on my first flight to Bali, when I realized I knew almost nothing about the place I was about to visit. I started reading—and I was immediately hooked.
Living in Bali transformed that curiosity into something much deeper. Through friendships, time spent in temples, and witnessing powerful ceremonies — especially my first cremation ceremony — I began to understand that Bali is far more than a beautiful island. It is layered, complex, and full of meaning.
When the COVID-19 pandemic stranded me in Bali, I immersed myself fully in studying its history. What surprised me most was how few people — visitors and residents alike — knew this incredible story.
I decided to share what I had learned through live presentations. I’ve now hosted this experience over 200 times, and the feedback has been overwhelming:
“You make history fun.”
“I wish my teacher had been like you.”
“It felt more like theater than a lecture.”
I’m a historian by obsession, an educator by vocation, and a storyteller by nature. This course is the result of years of research, performance, and a genuine love for Bali and its past.
This course is for travelers and residents who want to go beyond beaches and truly understand Bali.
If you join me, I promise you a deeper appreciation of the island—and an enjoyable journey along the way. See you inside!
You want more than beaches and Instagram moments—you want to understand Bali.
You value storytelling, clarity, and learning that feels alive, not boring or overwhelming.
You’re curious, open-minded, and want to experience Bali with informed eyes.
You’re only looking for quick travel tips, party spots, or surface-level information, and aren’t interested in understanding Bali beyond the tourist experience.
You prefer academic, textbook-style history and aren’t open to learning through storytelling, emotion, and a more engaging approach.
