Acerca de

I was born and raised in Recife and feel very passionate about the city. I have moved back here after living in Fernando de Noronha for six years, an incredibly beautiful island off the coast, just 01h away on a plane. It was a super rich experience where I had the chance to interact with travelers from all over the world. In 2011, I traveled around Europe for a couple of months, and studied English in Dublin for a month, another amazing experience! I’m really interested in nature and culture and love exchanging ideas so it is a real pleasure to me to welcome foreigners and try to provide the visitors with a more genuine local experience.

When being hungry he took us to places were we could have many gastronomic moments.

"Roderick was a great friend and tour guide for my short time in Recife! We used bikes to explore the whole city and by the time we were finished I felt like I had learned a significant amount about Recife. I would recommend this tour if you are alone or in a group. "

"Roderick was an excellent and friendly guide. My only issue is that the van used for the tour had malfunctioning air conditioning. He would have a five-star review except for that."

"Estuve en Recife en junio 2016 y teniendo un día libre decidí contactar un Local Friend. Fue la mejor decisión; Roderick inmediatamente contestó mis mensajes y quedamos para un paseo por el malecón, el centro de la ciudad y Olinda. Realmente disfruté el paseo en bicicleta por la costa, caminar por el centro y luego tomamos un taxi a Olinda, donde nuevamente caminamos la ciudad. Finalmente pude conocer en poco tiempo muchas cosas de Recife y Olinda. Gracias Roderick por haber hecho esto posible. Roderick es una persona muy correcta, amable, educada y ama y conoce su ciudad. En la práctica, acordamos que él hablara Portugués, yo español y solo para aclarar algunas dudas, usamos el inglés; así pude aprender nuevas palabras en su idioma. Ahora que voy a México espero encontrar un Local Friend como Roderick allá. I was in Recife in June 2016 and as I had one free day, I decided to contact a Local Friend. It was the best decision; Roderick immediately answered my messages and stayed for a walk along the waterfront, the city center and Olinda. I really enjoyed the bike ride along the coast, walk around downtown and then we took a taxi to Olinda, where he again walked the city. Finally I could learn quickly a lot of Recife and Olinda. Roderick thanks for making this possible. Roderick is a very correct, friendly, educated person who knows and loves his city. In practice, we agreed that he spoke Portuguese, I did in Spanish and just to clarify some doubts, we tried English; so, I was able to learn new words in Portuguese. Now that I'm going to Mexico, I hope to find there a Local Friend like Roderick."

"As a profession, I plan trips around the world for clients and hired Roderick for a group of my clients who were traveling in Recife for the 2014 World Cup in June. He was great to work with from start to finish. It was very easy to set everything up with him and I knew my clients would be in good hands. I arranged a full day tour of Recife and additionally some other transportation because I knew things would be hectic during the World Cup. My clients had nothing but compliments for him. Here are just a few words from them: "Roderick was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and was very pleasant to be with during our stay. When our flight was delayed for many hours, he kept in constant touch with us to make sure we would not be stranded We would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody visiting his city""

"Conhecer Recife através do olhar apaixonado de Roderick por sua cidade fez toda a diferença. Ele organizou um roteiro perfeito, completo porém tranquilo; de carro, a pé ou de barquinho visitamos os mais importantes locais, vivenciamos o "ser pernambucano", a música e cultura, arte e gastronomia... E tudo sempre acompanhado de muita gentileza e atenção. Vale com Roderick experimentar este interessante projeto "rent a local friend"!!!"

"Roderick is an awesome guy! Before we met we exchanged a few emails and then when I arrived he helped me to experience the very best of Fernando de Noronha, Recife and Olinda. Roderick organised so many amazing things on my behalf - diving, snorkelling, the San Juan festival, experiencing Carnival like a local and a bike ride through Recife! Not only did he help me to experience all these things he introduced me to delicious Brazilian food and taught me loads about the Brazilian culture. He speaks fluent English and knows his city really well. He's passionate about everything he does, is a lot of fun to hang out with and a perfect gentleman too. I can't recommend him enough - we met as strangers and now I'm proud to call him my friend. "
