In this fabulous episode of Telling Tinder Tales, hosts Chris O'Neill and Thomasin Lockwood are joined by Kris, a Belgian animator, artist, and energy practitioner whose dating story takes us from the beaches of Brazil to music festivals, long-distance romance, van life adventures, and some extraordinary twists of fate.

What starts as a chance encounter while travelling leads to an unexpected connection that unfolds across multiple countries, cultures, and years.
