Hi I'm Nathan, I am a wedding photographer and also a Resident Director at Chapman University. When I'm not working or on duty I do photography at weddings on the weekends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've shot weddings in Washington, Oregon, California, Nebraska, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Whenever I've traveled to do weddings I want to get an authentic idea of what the place is like. Hotels are all the same, its like I never left home. It can actually be quite depressing when you travel somewhere new but don't learn or experience anything different. People are authentic and fascinating, and people live very differently from place to place. I don't mind roughing it or spending time with people who are different. Experiences I've had that were new and perhaps even a little uncomfortable were the most memorable and enjoyable in the long run.

I'm couch surfing because I want to live life to the fullest. I don't know the meaning of life, but I like learning what brings meaning to the lives of other people.
