Hi! I'm Rodrigo, studying an MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge. As I will be in the UK for only one year, I'd like to make the most out of it and explore places I haven't been to and meet cool and interesting people.

Really easygoing and open to surprising stuff. I can go on for hours talking about music and international politics, to places to travel, life experiences and everything that's in between.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in getting to know new places by meeting locals
