Originally from the UK and having lived in Toronto and North Carolina, Chris now calls southeast Michigan home. After 37 years in chemical manufacturing, Chris started chapter two pursuing his love of travel and photography and sharing it through illustrated travel articles. From sleeping in an ice hotel to walking through a Rio favela, rice mat weaving in rural China to sailing naked on the world’s largest square rigger, getting lost in the medina of Marrakech to sharing mate in Chile, every journey has created lifelong memories and often new friends. No matter where you are, everyone has a story.

Married with two grown sons, Chris still gets up early every Saturday to watch his beloved Liverpool play in the English Premier League and he still misses English country pubs and warm beer. He is also a features writer for a local newspaper and volunteers with a local nature and land conservancy group.
