Chris Moss in a journalist and cultural historian from Lancashire, England. A former educator, he was based in Argentina for a decade, where he worked at the Buenos Aires Herald.

He has written for many UK newspapers and magazines and international outlets including the Washington Post and South China Morning Post. His travel journalism is syndicated to the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Over three decades, he has visited every country in South and Central America and written about everything from Cuban contemporary art to Che Guevara’s gap year to the erotic overtones of Argentina’s carnivorous cuisine.

Chris has edited more than a dozen guidebooks and written books about Patagonia, London and the Wales Coast Path. Forthcoming travelogues focus on Lancashire and the UK’s unsung “undertourism” destinations. He has received awards from the Latin American Travel Association, British Travel Press and Visit Britain, and leads tours for Martin Randall Travel.
