About

My name is Chris, and this space is where all my passions meet: food, travel, photography, psychology, art, and the search for meaning.

I studied psychology and medicine, have a lifelong love of art and culture, and I’m a published novelist as well as an award-winning fine art photographer. I write in English, Spanish, Italian, and even sign language. My inspirations include Rumi, Jungian tarot archetypes, yoga, biking, and nature.

This blog, With a Grateful Heart, is my way of weaving these experiences together. You’ll find restaurant reviews and travel notes, reflections on the mind and spirit, insights from psychology, and plenty of photography and poetry.

Thank you for visiting! I hope you find something here that inspires, nourishes, and connects you to your own journey.

With a grateful heart,

Chris.~
