About Chris
I'm a self-confessed travel and book nerd and the owner of stupidly large TBR pile who's obsessed with exploring bookstores all over the globe. Add to this that I'm a total Eurovision Song Contest tragic...so, you could describe me as a travel/book nerd covered in glitter desperately seeking a key change.
I've been fortunate to work on a variety of Lonely Planet titles that have covered everything from indulgent weekends in Australian wine country to snorkelling in glacial melt water between the tectonic plates in Iceland. Being based in Melbourne, Australia I also work extensively as one of Lonely Planet's brand spokespeople where you might catch me on breakfast television or tune in to Australia's only LGBTQIA+ radio station JOY 94.9 and listen to my travel program there. Travel is best done with a book in one hand and a glass of local wine in the other.
