Chris is a citizen of France, but he was born in Africa and traveled extensively in his youth before his parents finally settled in Arles, in Provence, France. Having taught, studied and lived overseas for most of his life, he thinks of himself more as a citizen of the World, as many international students already do! However, he calls Arles home.
