Rodrigo is half Italian, half Brazilian and came to the UK to study and to search for a better life. His family still live in Brazil and he speaks to them everyday although he never wants to go back to Brazil saying “England is everything to me”.
Rodrigo thinks that British people find him “very strange” because he hugs and kisses people and is very tactile but he says this is just a cultural thing. Before he came to the UK he wasn’t interested in men but now he thinks he might be gay, although on average he dates an equal amount of men and women.
Rodrigo describes himself as ambitious and good hearted although he thinks his mother would say he is a little feisty at times because when he sees something wrong he can’t keep quiet.
Once, after a night out, he couldn’t afford the taxi home so paid the Taxi driver by giving him his shoes. His bad habits are that he picks his nose and feet when he is alone. Sometimes he also farts and blames it on other people.
After he finishes studying he wants to open a shop, although he doesn’t know what kind of shop yet.
