My name is Carter Kruse and I am from Oregon in the United States. I am 20 years old and I am currently a college student looking expand my perspective by traveling the world. I have taken 5 years of French classes and 2 years of Spanish, but have never had the chance to immerse myself in either of the languages. I have over 5 years of work experience and have worked on a family farm before. I am excited for the opportunity to learn and try new things, and I can't wait to get started.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

College is extremely expensive in America so I have very little money to travel and see the world with. Hostels and hotels are expensive and tough to find space in during summer. I would love to couch surf to get to see your country as you do, and make some friends in the progress!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met Barack Obama when I won a national scholarship for public service in the USA. It was the single most incredible moment of my life and the scholarship winners talked to him and asked him questions.
