I had such a great time with Rodney! He took me out to go surfing two times and we did multiple things together, like going to markets, having a Barbecue or making a fire. The work I did was super simple and not much at all. I felt super comfortable with him and he's a very friendly, calm guy who I can warmly recommend as a host ☺️
