Chris Raven

A career in overland adventure travel writing was launched when Chris drove across Siberia from the UK to Vladivostok at the dawn of a new millennium. He has also driven to Damascus and recently to the Arctic Circle. Becoming established as a travel writer with the publication of ‘Living the Linger’ (2005), ‘Driving the Trans-Siberian’ (2006) and Carnival Express (2008), Chris has since co-written his fourth book ‘Black Sea Circuit’ (2015). In addition to his work as a published author, Chris is known for his colorful travel photography and he has also documented off the beaten track destinations including China’s deep south, tribal India and the Balkan peninsula. Chris is currently co-writing his next book ‘Ravens on the Road’ (published May 2019). He has been noted by Lonely Planet for his talent to portray an “accurate view of what to expect”.
