Hi, I'm Christina! I live in Seattle with my partner Amedeo and our two cats. I'm a PhD student researching how to mitigate climate change by building with wood instead of concrete. He's a fire protection engineer that will talk your ear off about buildings. We both enjoy skiing, hiking, backpacking, cooking, and gardening. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Amedeo and I are moving to Florence for the summer and are hoping to make new friends as we explore Italy and continue to learn the language!
