About Christopher Klassen

As the child of parents that worked for the US Foreign Service, I spent the greater half of my life moving from one country to the next throughout Latin America. This nomadic lifestyle has shaped me into someone with a traveler’s heart and a soul enriched by diverse cultures. Consequently, the road has always been my calling, while writing, photography, and drone videography have served as my tools for both inspiration and recollection along the way. I currently provide copywriting and editing support for Metropolitan Touring’s Digital Marketing Team. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and English from the University of British Columbia and currently reside in Boulder, Colorado.

Today, technology also acts, one way or another, as a guardian: we live among surveillance sensors, speed cameras, and voice-activated home digital security technologies.
