Hello, my name is Hee Sang.
I was born in South Korea until I graduated elementary school, then I moved to the US in 7th grade. I'm currently attending the Ohio State University majoring in International Relations and Spanish. I love learning about different languages and cultures - especially European languages & cultures, and that's why I studied Spanish, French and Latin throughout all four years of high school.

My dad was an architect and my mom was an art teacher, so I grew up in a rather artistic family. I draw and enjoy calligraphy when I have time; I also like to take pictures with a camera that I got for my middle school graduation gift. I have a little brother who is really involved in acting and singing, and I also have two lovely cats at home, even though I'm allergic to cats.

I am a very friendly and open-minded person who love animals and traveling :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people who live in the cities that I'm traveling to, so I can really immerse myself into the culture of the place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share two cultures since I spent about half of my life in Korea and another half in the States. I would love to talk about any other countries, too!

Also, if you would like, I can write your names using calligraphy, and also in Korean so you can find out how your name is written in Korean.
