About This Episode

Christopher Hill is the founder and driving force behind Hands Up Holidays, a pioneering luxury travel company that specializes in "voluntourism"—high-end vacations blending sightseeing, adventure, and hands-on philanthropy. Launched in the early 2000s, the company caters primarily to affluent families, couples, and groups seeking transformative experiences that foster family bonding while making a tangible impact on local communities. Hill, a former London-based finance professional, now lives in New Zealand with his wife, two sons, and their dog Zola, serving a largely U.S.-based clientele from there.
