Chris is a Senior Product Lead at Pura, which is a fancy way of saying he helps create the wonderful trips you see across our website. His recent travel experience includes a 1,000-mile journey back and forth across the border in remotest Patagonia, a coast-to-coast road trip in Costa Rica (despite somehow managing to break a bone in his right hand whilst fly fishing en route), a foray deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon to meet a trailblazing female guide, a 4x4 adventure across the Bolivian Altiplano and an overland journey from his front door to Valencia.

His first visit to Argentina in 2013 inspired Chris to obsessively teach himself Spanish. He's since put this to good use by creating a range of No-Fly holidays to Catalonia, three new walking routes in Andalucía and our first island breaks to Tenerife, La Gomera and Menorca. In 2024, he expanded this island repertoire to the Azores, though his Portuguese is still a work in progress. These trips have all regularly featured in publications like The Times and Chris has himself been quoted as an authority in travel in national newspapers including The Telegraph and iPaper. Chris is passionate about creating holidays rooted in local communities and built around the special people he meets on the way. When not travelling, he's often found walking his beagle in the South Downs or squeezing one more plant into his garden in (sometimes) sunny Sussex.
