Hello all. I will be starting my PhD studies in electrical engineering at Stanford University starting Sep 2016. I'm spending this summer to travel around :) Hope there's a chance for me to meet you.

I am sociable, friendly, responsible, sometimes nerdy, but usually busy. I like meeting people and grabbing drinks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
hmm.. Do you want to learn about engineering and my research..?

Learn:
If you don't mind, can you tell me about your life?

Share:
My passion in learning about people and acquiring knowledge.
I can tell you the kind of places that you can go to (things that you can probably find online, but I guess I can give you a personal view of what it's like). Let's be real here, there're not that many tourisy things that you can do in Boston compared to like New York.
