I am Rodrigo Lassaga Newell, 22 years old and I'm from Argentina. I'm a masters degree chemical engineering student. I started my studies at Córdoba, Argentina and, with a couple of friends we have won a scholarship to finish our careers in Salerno, Italy. This is the reason why I am in Europe willing to share new experiences with people from different countries and with other cultures. I have to confess that I love travelling, getting to know new places but from a different side that of a tourist: I love to explore cities and countries and discover the way people live and behave, and how they interact with each other. In the last few years my family and I visited some countries in the Americas, it is worth mentioning USA, Mexico, Italy, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama and some other countries next to Argentina such as Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay. Since I am in Italy and distances from one country to another are not so far my friends and I want to travel to different countries when we are not busy with the exams. We are looking forward to get in to know new people and enjoy this journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I would love to take advantages of my stay in Europe and get to know its countries. Making new friends is something I would love to.

Interests

I love sports specially team sports and watching matches on tv or attending them. I like studying new languages because it allows me to communicate with people from different countries.
