Roommate
Dear friend,
I know you're looking for a male roommate, so I'm not inquiring about the room. I don't know if you're Korean or an expat living in Korea, but I was wondering if you could help me answer a few questions. I'm an American from California who wants to stay in Korea for two months. I have always found Korean culture, food, music, fashion and of course the people fascinating. Probably because my best friend in middle school was Korean and we shared some great times together. Throughout my life, whenever I've traveled it seems out of all the fascinating people I've ever met, Koreans are the ones that embraces me the most and many times have thought that I was Korean too:). And I love how willingly helpful and warm they are and it has really left a endearing mark in my life. This is why I tell myself I have to visit this country, because my heart and soul have been forcefully drawn to it and I know if I don't do it, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I guess this letter is just to see if you would like to meet up or hang out when I'm actually there? So, the question is where should I stay for me to meet people and would also have the best time?
Please proofread at your convenience. Thank you!
Throughout my life, whenever I travel it seems out of all the fascinating people I meet, Koreans are the ones that embraces me the most and many times have thought that I was Korean too:). <------ Is this sentence ok to use too? Or should I use the past tense?

Most of this message is good - the syntax is a little awkward, but it's fine for a casual and heartfelt letter. " Also, this sentence is a run-on. Even if you correct the grammar, it has too many clauses and is likely to confuse the reader.
