Chris, originally from the UK, earned his degree in Business Studies and Spanish from Birmingham University. His passion for travel took him to Rio de Janeiro, where he first encountered the concept of slum tourism in the favelas.
In 2002, while volunteering at a school for children from a slum community in India, he also met Krishna, who would later become his friend and business partner. Chris’s innovative thinking and desire for sustainable change helped him recognize the potential of slum tourism to challenge negative stereotypes about low-income communities and support residents. In 2004, he relocated to India to launch the project that eventually became Reality Tours & Travel, transforming lives through responsible tourism.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys running, traveling, and exploring all things related to health and well-being.
