I just finished my MS in industrial engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Moving to SF soon to start a job in the E-vehicle industry. I was born and raised in Xi'an, China and spent my formative years in the suburbs of Detroit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled to amazing places (NYC, Paris, and such) where my experiences there were greatly affected by warmhearted locals. I want to pay it forward, learn your story, share mine, and play host and show you the beautiful city of Madtown.

Interests

I enjoy staying active whether it's running, hiking, climbing, or any water sports.

Very much enjoy road trips and the freedoms that come with it.

Recently got into long backpacking trips. Still getting the groove of things.

Quite big into breweries and live music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm big on rock climbing, running, and having deep conversations. I'd love to take you to the climbing wall on campus and show you the trail I run on the most often. Also, Memorial Union Terrace, it is a must go.
