Hi guys. My name is Jackie Chen. But not Jackie Chan, I’m not the movie star. Anyway, I was a transfer student in OSU last semester and a sophomore in landscape architecture at Knowlton School now. I am from Guangdong, China, a place near Hong Kong. This is my first year coming to the United States. And I am happy that my first destination is Columbus. I love this peaceful city, I love its food, its weather and nice people here. Actually, it is a big challenge for me to adapt to a new environment because of different language and different culture, but I feel fortunate that my classmates and instructors give me so much help and support. I am happy to be a buckeye! I am a big fan of basketball and soccer. My favorite soccer team is Real Madrid. I am also interested in movies and American series. West World is what I am watching recently.

I look forward to traveling to Santiago with you. I am a travel enthusiast. Although I have been a lot of place, this will be my first time to go to South America. To me, Chile is a new and mysterious country. I like new things, new places and new experiences. I am excited to see how Chile looks like and how the culture influences those architecture and landscape. I expect to travel with you.
