Welcome to Cris Cross the World, your ultimate blueprint for budget luxury nature travel across the globe.

At Cris Cross the World, you will find your perfect guide for budget luxury nature travel across the world.

About Me

I’m Cris, and I have been to over 30 countries both completely solo and with an extended family in tow. I specialise in planning immersive, unforgettable nature and seaside trips that balance a set budget with unforgettable comfort.

My Mission: Making Budget Luxury Nature Travel Accessible

I don’t believe in generic city tours or sterile hotels. Instead, I seek out raw, immersive experiences, like glamping under the star-flooded skies of the Atacama Desert or falling asleep to the sounds of nature in Kenya. I enjoy figuring out the exact logistics to make every trip achievable, affordable, and safe for everyone.

Why Trust My Travel Advice?

My travel guides are built entirely on the unfiltered reality of my journeys. I don’t write about destinations from a distance; I write from the front lines of unique family travel logistics. I’m all about real, authentic travel where the journey isn’t always perfect, but all worth it. My expertise is rooted in real-world scenarios that cannot be replicated:

  • Navigating Remote Extremes Without a Car: Like the time a late booking left my teenage daughter and me stranded in a remote trailer on a Lapland husky farm, teaching us exactly how to survive and thrive in the Arctic winter without a vehicle.
  • Mastering Multi-Generational Adventure Travel: Successfully managing a three-generation expedition to the Atacama Desert, balancing the high-energy needs of teenagers and nieces with the mobility and high-altitude limitations of my elderly mother, ensuring everyone experienced the magic of the desert safely.
  • Maximising High-Value Travel Budgets: Proving that you can experience top-tier wilderness glamping and eco-safaris without paying over-inflated tour operator prices.

Whether you are a solo traveller looking to push your boundaries in nature, or a parent trying to figure out how to take your children and parents into the wild without breaking the bank, you’ve found your blueprint. Welcome to my unfiltered guide to exploring the world together.
