Hi! I’m an incoming UW grad student, studying chemical engineering. I just arrived in Seattle a week ago from Ithaca, NY, and I am still exploring this area! I don’t have friends here, so I think it’s time to make some new friends. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My boyfriend shared me a lot of stories about his couch surfing experience before. And I was fortunate enough to join a couch surfing meet-up a week ago in Boston. It was pretty fun and I am always glad to know new people!
