Chris

Chris left his home and native land at 23 for a five-month, 10,000 kilometre cycling trip through Europe and never looked back – mostly because, after that much time on a bike, he could no longer rotate his neck in either direction. Prolonged stops in Burgundy, northern Italy, and Tuscany instilled in him the travel knowhow to fuel a two-decade-plus career in luxury vacations, as well as the language skills to order a kir royale or prosciutto e melone without having to point at the menu. An active cyclist to this day, Chris is often seen pedalling the streets of Toronto’s west end on nighttime rides, dreaming up innovative travel ideas when not frantically dodging raccoons. As a Director at HV, he has a hand in all aspects of our business, in particular experience development and guest management.
